Also, Divx 6 likes to set the extension to movie.divx instead of movie.avi.
Maybe to launch their own player? Anyway, I rename it to movie.avi and it
seems to work on the computer and opens in Windows Media Player that way.
Still, I cannot get a Divx 6 movie to play "with sound" on their licensed
Philips DVD player. >:o( Maybe it was licensed for version 5?
