    I am watching a movie, which need a divx codec, in my TZ laptop.
    Im using high performance.
    When I am using a full screen, the frame is much slower than the sound.
    But, when I exit the full screen, it works fine.
    Anyone could tell me how to solve it?
    THANKS

    Just a little question - how can we know that this is a safe application?
    No malware, and also legal?

    Please don't just post links to software.

    howruhenry - I'm just curious, when you installed DivX - wouldn't that have installed a DivX player too? If you have it - try it.
    (Don't instal it if you haven't got it as it may not solve your problem... - it's just worth a try if you have it)

    The filename sounds like it's the K-Lite Codec Pack. As far as I know, K-Lite isn't illegal but it is a but messy.

    I prefer to use CCCP.

    There you go - you even yourself point out it sounds like its that file...

    I think Flipfire said there was an argument that some codecs were proprietary in that...

    Anyway - to the "new ones" - it is generally a good idea to link to "Project pages" rather than to some file depository.

    By reading the whole link? :confused:

    There is a possibility that hamud added crapware in this file, and then uploaded it somewhere, and waited, just waited, for someone to make a thread like this, and then he posted this link, hoping the file will ???? and make him a lot of profit.

    On the other hand, there is a possibility, that hamud searched for the best codec pack on the Internet, and posted it's direct link here so that the OP doesn't have to stroll through hundreds of "Click here to advance".

    Well, you never know who posts what.
    And he could very have posted 2 links.

    The first to the offical webpage - the second to the actual file.

    I never posted a link in here (quotes excluded) and have no idea what the link was to.
