Alf stop being a lemming please ! ;)

I have already mentioned before that system updates can be done via CD not CODEC UPDATES MS have to pay the Divx corporation/Faction whatever u wanna call them everytime the divx codec gets downloaded thats why it is only available to download via XBOX LIVE !

I know what I am talking about as I am the one that usually helps people when they get into problems running divx vids on their 360's http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=155551&highlight=divx+xbox

I posted a link to the file, as I never noticed one in this thread.

have you had time to test and see if it now plays avi's?

found this in other thread

The only way to keep track of how many consoles require this codec is to tie it to the individual machine, IE gamertag ! there is a simple solution though, all u need to do is delete the codec from ur system including all video bookmark data. create a second gamertag and download the codec again via that gamertag's live account. u can then play movies offline without being connected to live. after u download the codec u can use it on ur orginal account offline and u can then delete the second gamertag (if u want) u created and the videos will still work
dumb question probably, but is a gamertag, the name you choose ie your profile?

All of these questions were answered ages ago in the stickied Xbox FaQ in this section http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=136988 :rolleyes: Yes even the divx question ;)

34. What is the Gamertag, Gamercard and Gamerscore ?

A Gamertag is the universal name for a player's username on Microsoft's Xbox Live. A Gamertag must be unique and can be up to 15 characters in length and may include numbers and letters. Using a Gamertag, any player can be located and messaged from within Live.

The Gamercard is an information panel used to summarize one's user profile on Microsoft's Xbox Live. The pieces of information on a Gamercard include:

* Gamertag
* Gamerscore
* Reputation
* Gamer Zone
* Recent games played

A player's Gamercard can be viewed via the Xbox 360 Dashboard, or online through Xbox.com. Third party sites allow users to post rendered versions of their Gamercard as small Flash applets or JPEG images on any website or Internet forum.
