Divx Plus Player for Mac OSX 10.5.8

Klaus,

I have read this post of yours before. Perian DOES NOT & I REPEAT DOES NOT allow me to stream divx videos. I have Perian for years btw.

The divx link you provide does NOT & I REPEAT DOES NOT let me download the web player only.

No offense Klaus, but do you even read what a person posts? I appreciate your offering help, but it's the same information you have posted elsewhere, that I have already read and your info is incomplete.

Klaus,

I was not highjacking.

I am new to this site. I could only find a reply button. It took me more than 1/2 hour to find info as to how to post a new topic. Which I did, long before you posted to me in this thread.

Regardless.......You still did not answer one of my questions. Whether I post it here or in my very own topic.

What is the solution??? All you provide me with is links. You do not say how to stream a divx embedded video in Perian, nor do you say which version of Divx Web Player I should be installing or where to find it.

All you are offering me is more frustration. Sorry, but I don't need this. I need to get my movie streaming capability back. And if you don't have the answers, then please refrain from sending me links that DO NOT

offer any solutions either. Or letcuring me on highjacking. Sheesh!

Thank you.

I repeat.........you are NOT HELPING AT ALL.

I don't want the new freaking version, that is why I am in this mess.

I am in rage mode now and YOU are not helping.

How do I block your posts from coming into my home mail?

Hi Bartrn,

I came across this web site dated June 16/11 so it is pretty new info.:

http://labs.divx.com/divx-plus-web-player-hiq

Now that the experiment is over, the DivX HiQ beta will be uninstalled from your system in this latest release of the DivX Plus Web Player. This won’t prevent you from watching videos with DivX Plus Web Player on websites that choose to use our player and you can continue to use DivX Plus Web Player as your HTML5 video player for H.264 content. However, this update will remove the DivX HiQ button and the DivX Plus Web Player will no longer work on sites that specify their own default Flash player.

What does that mean Bart??? Where do we find the default for Flash player??? I am having problems viewing movies again and just uninstalled everything again! Sheesh!

Hi Bart,

I also found another sneaky place that Perian stores its data. Since it has the same codex as Divx, & since the two might conflict, this too has to be removed if Perian is being uninstalled.

The below was taken from this link: http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Take_2_Full_Update

This is where I found the AC3MovieImport.component if you wish to remove it from your system.

Finder: Home Folder/Library/QuickTime/AC3MovieImport.component

Hi Bart,

Here is another sneaky place Divx hides their stuff that "spotlight" did NOT show:

Finder: HomeFolder/Library/LaunchAgents/com.divx.agent.postinstall.plist

Hi Bart,

I also found a real easy way to clean out Finder in this link:

http://lifehacker.com/308898/clean-up-finders-open-with-menu

The MacApper weblog details how to clean out Finder's Open With menu so that uninstalled and duplicate applications don't bog down the list of apps you want to use.

1. Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices
2. and trash it (you can back it up if you want)

If you want to get even more granular with your Open With Menu, check out this link:

Hi Bart,

Apparently there is a "a52codec" that works much better than the AC3codec.

Look at this link: http://fplanque.com/dev/mac/ac3_codec_intel_mac_universal_a52_codec

A52Codec Development link, check it out too: http://trac.cod3r.com/a52codec/

Lastly, be sure to remove all instances of AC3Codec. It does not work properly and can cause severe problems on Intel machines.

Perian is quite nice because everything "just works" right out of the box. The problem is that Mac Perian provides somewhat sub-par quality compared to getting the codecs direct from the source. So, as nice as just using Perian would be, quality lovers will have to forego the convenience. (note, if you installed Perian at this point and now have decided not to use it, you must navigate to the /Library/QuickTime and remove the Perian for Mac. component file, otherwise replacement codecs will be screwed up)

Here are other Third-Party Codecs for Quicktime Player .

Why do people bother uploading movies with DivX or Movshare when these two systems are nothing but problems for many of the views???

I find streaming movies uploaded thru Putlocker is a breeze on my browser.

Great News, for all of you that are having problems with DivX:

I only installed the Divx Plus Web player, bcos I did not want all the other stuff, as I only steam movies, and I installed Perian for their codex to work with Quick Time, just in case.

What did I do to finally get the nasty DivX download to work. Today, I broke down and bought the MacKeeper.

Cleaned up up a ton of double files, logs etc., and viola.......DivX, the nightmare download, is now working like a charm.

I will post this info in a new topic so that everyone can benefit from this MacKeeper program. It's a real dream & easy to use.

btw: I am sure that it will fix the DivX 7 download problem as well. I think the reason that DivX gives us problems is bcos of all the old files that are not uninstalled, even tho we do are best to seek them out.

MacKeeper saved my sanity! lolololol

Oh, and my Mac is now flying......and I mean flying like new.
