How to play DivX videos?

Once you have DivX movies downloaded, you need a player then. Here are the most popular ways to play DivX videos:

Method 1 DivX 7 for Windows

Obviously the most recommended way to play .divx files is to download DivX 7 for Windows from DivX Inc. It includes the codec installation which is needed to decode and display the video and also a player that can take advantage of the DMF (DivX Media Format) container extras.

Download the DivX 7 for Windows from AfterDawn.com at:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/divx_play.cfm

with the download of the DivX Codec, you also will have a DivX Player installed. This should be able to handle your .divx files right out of the box now.

Method 2 Using VLC player for DivX

With the VLC player, you can enjoy your DivX multimedia files quickly. The player directly supports the common video and audio you will find in DivX files, such as DivX video itself, AC3 audio and MP3 audio, all without the need for DirectShow filters or special codec to be installed. If you are looking for a quick solution then this is certainly it.
You can get VLC for Windows from here.

Method 3: Windows Media Player

Technically you can play .divx files in Windows Media Player, but only the video and main audio. The DMF container has maintained some backwards-compatibility with AVI, so if you have the DivX Codec installed (or FFDShow filters), then it should work just fine with Windows Media Player. To test, simply open Windows Media Player and click Now Playing. Drag the divx file into the player and it should attempt to play it (if it warns about the file extension, permit it to play the file anyway).
