DivX in Safari

iSam · 27 Feb 2008 at 14:50

Been trying to watch some DivX vids online. But, when I try to view them, a box pops up and says that the video is not a DivX file. However, my friends who are on Vista say it works fine. :confused:

Any ideas?

Any chance that video is wmv? I've had that problem before and I just close it and run it with Camino...

Perian 1.1 not handle it? How about the Flip4Mac plugin?

Type the following command in Terminal (while Safari is NOT running):

% defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Then launch Safari, and enjoy the new Debug menu.

You can then tell Safari to render it like IE6, which should force page bugs out

tbh don't bother because divx just crashes safari all the time any way so you might as well just use firefox.

I've tried it in Firefox as well. It's still not working. I think it might be the plug-in, have tried re-installing it but no joy.
