    Hi all

    Any of you guys & girls be able to help?

    I have installed Divx player to play movies on my DV2799ea. I tried the codec using Realplayer/Media player, however they are no good and the movies still jump a little.

    I don’t mind using Divx player, however it means that I cant use the media buttons with it. It also means I can’t change the vol and play/pause on my remote and BT headphones.

    Does anyone know how to fix this or recommend another media player that is compatible?

    Thanks

    the vol buttons on the remote should work regardless of the application

    I have been using Vista Codec package found here

    http://shark007.net/

    It enables you to use whatever player you wish to view a given media file.

    Check it out. :)

    VLC and K-Lite Mega codec pack are probably the best
