Why can't QuickTime play Divx?

Tried to play a Divx .avi in QuickTime. After a brief attempt at converting it tells me it can't play it. Sure would appreciate some suggestions.


Thanks,

Download and install a DivX player. Such things modify OS X and can result in incompatibility problems now or in the future, so know what you're doing and always have a backup in the event that installing an .avi player results in crashing your Mac or other performance problems.


Beware that such things may offer to change your browser settings and install spyware that may be masquerading as something else. Be sure to read what the installer does and always decline such offers.
