More and more often, now, when I download or upload a .avi file, it tells me that I cannot watch this file because I'm lacking the required compressor, and the software to fix it is unfortunately not on the QuickTime server. Because of this, I can't watch the rest of DNAngel (Actually, I can't watch a good half of the episodes!) I can't watch the end of Maloki, and I can't watch ANY of Haibane Renmei. What's going on here?

Try using DivX? http://www.divx.com/divx/ It says ads for the free version, but I've yet to see one..

But I've got DivX. Is there a new release? I'll try it and see...

Actually, what you may be missing is the Xvid Codec. Stupid, yeah? Try doing an Xvid search to get the file.

If you have OSX, I'd suggest just using vlc. It's a great open-source media player and comes with a lot of codecs built in.

That seems to work -- sort of. Now instead of getting error messages that it lacks the necessary components (except for Haibane, still can't play those) it just runs with a lag so bad that it's dropping every other frame. Sigh.

if the other players don't work, you can always try Webteh's BS Player (http://www.bsplayer.org/) ^_^

there's also a DiVX BS Player here (http://www.divx-digest.com/software/bs_play.html), but I don't know if that's the same as the other DiVX stuff ^_^;;;
