Apple
/ Macintosh USERS
There
are a number of DivX codecs out there for the Macintosh, and
all of them are free. Some of them are plugins for your QuickTime
player, some of them work with Windows Media Player for Mac,
and some of them are their own stand-alone viewer application.
Which one is best for you depends on which operating system
you have installed, what speed your processor is, and what
viewing software you prefer to use.
3ivX
Delta QuickTime plugin
http://www.3ivx.com/download/macos.html
We
recommend this codec, especially for MacOS Classic users,
although it's now available for both MacOS Classic and MacOS
X. It won't play our older videos, which are compressed with
the older version of DivX, but it will run smoothly with every
movie we've made this year, and it's a lot better than what
came before!
DivX
5.0 decoder alpha for MacOS
http://www.projectmayo.com/projects/detail.php?projectId=6
Supports
both OS 9 and OS X. This codec is supposedly the standard,
but the catch is that you need QuickTime 5.0 or newer to use
it, and your processor has to be a 400Mhz G3 or faster! It
won't work for everyone, but if it works for you, then it
will deifnitely work the best.

This stand-alone application supports both OS 9 and OS X --
give it a try! |
