  Why is it so difficult to see that it's a glass sphere?

Hmm... before I download a new player, can I just get the codecs for Windows
Media Player? Which one on the download page should I get?

Thankyou!

DivX *is* a codec, but for some weird reason they include "the playa" in their
package.  I've never used it.  Oh, and download DivX4, 'cause DivX5 suck*

  In what way?
  It's just a codec, not much different from version 4 (except that it has
much more options).

I doesn't work here.  DivX5-movies give pure blackness, and DivX4-movies look
like they were run over by a car...
And it's not free anymore...

I can tell it's glass; what I meant was that I see something reflected in
it, or seem to. Probably just me, nevermind.

I don't have any problems with it and the plain vanilla version costs 0$

Only the pro version pro version costs money. They didn't cripple the free
version in any way, at least compared to DivX 4. I've never had a problem
with any version of DivX.

  AFAIK the free version of DivX5 can play correctly any DivX file (even
the ones created with DivX5pro). The difference between the free and the pro
version is in the encoding part: When creating a DivX file, you have less
options.
  So if you are only going to watch DivX animations, the free version is as
good as you can get.
