Can I just say, well done for advertising on a public forum that is owned by AOL/TW that you have just downloaded an illegal copy of a film which is marketed by I believe an AOL/TW company.

Even more fun is the fact you've advertised your e-mail address as well, and AOL email address at that

, expect the men in black suits to be knocking at your door sometime in the future

LOL. That wasn't the brightest thing to say. Your problem is that you need a divx decoder. There are many places to get free ones, which seems to be to your liking.

There is a really good Xvid codec called ffdshow. I got it from a friend and it fixed all my problems.

Try this It tells you what codecs a given file needs. And seems to work fairly well.

Buy it. A quality film like that shouldn't be downloaded.

I knew a guy in college that never paid for a book from the college bookstore. He would take a book, walk with it in plain site straight out the door, and never triggered the alarm or anyone's suspicion. How did he get away with it? I am not making this up. He took the book in one hand, placed the book and hand on his head and walked through the sensors. Appearently the range on those things is measured in centimeters.

This place near by house has cheap security locks.. They are little things with 3 holes you stick a little thing in and slide it... If I wanted it could steal a game/movie/dvd easily.

The only one who's changed is Dro! He's become bitter, and let's face it, crazy over the years. He'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat. And he'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place! Muhuhahahaha!
