Just like the experience most people in the US have had with SAP - it
doesn't work.

Neither does your animation.

Is there a player that will actually allow people to view your work?

finding it.

installing it correctly.

getting it to work.

for those having problems, you might try my website and
download the packages I have on the DTA page- I've yet
to run into any problems after installing them.

BTW: I HATE DiVX because it is NOT a standard and
because there are SO MANY DANG VERSIONS OF IT!



Having said that the animation was pretty nice, good
job!  The bubbles move a little fast for me...

Why bother?  I'm not interesting.
But... maybe "Ballet pour ma fille" will be.

For those of you who can't view this the first version required a newer
version of DivX, from the OpenDIVX group version 4.01 is the one I had to
download to get it to work. I have recompressed it using the more widely
installed DIVX 3.11 so this version should hopefully be viewable by all.

PS: I hope the original poster doesn't mind me doing this.

Nope!

It's all right. I'm not sure how widely the codecs are spread. I've just
chosen 4.01 because it is a non-beta version.

Ouch!!

I am deeply sorry and I want to apologize for the troubles I may have
caused you.
I've chosen DivX4.01 final because I thought it is the best platform for
all and the compression is fairly good. I did'n want to use beta codecs
or Microsoft's MPEG4 codec.
I hope you will see it with the right codec or download Thomas Lake's
DivX3.11 version of the anim. (Thanks Tom)
Once again: SORRY!

Karl

No worries. Besides, with Dearmad's post, it's finally inspired/allowed me to
play DivX...

Can't verify any of your opinions. SAP works. My animation works. *g*

Yep. Go to http://www.divx.com/ and download the complete package which 
includes the codec (DivX4.01 final) and the "playa". This should work.

"I've also been talking with the developers of DivX4 and it looks as they're
still heavily working on the codec despite the final stage. ... The final
release was more a marketing decision than a development decision, as some
companies do not consider codecs that are labeled beta no matter how good they
are."

That's a quote from an article on a major divxing site, and its the reason I'm
reluctant to get the codec just yet.

ugh... "the playa.." I'm surprised the DiVX codec works
at all if "the playa" is another example of their
programming skills and methods...

just plug in the codecs and use another player is what
I recommend.
