[Vinnyqua]

I have a Divx video file and it plays fine with VLC but when in qucktime theres audio but the video comes up with distorted boxes..?? Tried divx docter but its the same thing..even tried to convert it to mpeg-2 but still the same.. I have other divx files that play just fine in quicktime except this one..

You 100% sure it's a divx file?

[Vinnyqua]

Im pretty sure the rest of them work fine and there divx files... if not what can i do or use to find out exactly what it is??

When you open it in QT press Apple+J. On the Left dropdown menu choose Video Track, on the Right dropdown menu choose Format. What Data Format does it say it is?

[Vinnyqua]

It says 3ivx d4 4.5.1

[tgpo]

Do you have the 3ivx codec installed?

[Vinnyqua]

Yes I do. ive always had it installed....

[tgpo]

Since you've always had it installed have you updated it in that time?

[Vinnyqua]

Yes I always update my softwares when new versions come out...

what error do you get when trying to play it in quicktime

a divx wont play in quicktime unless you have the proper codex installed, and even still you need to "doctor" it

if it has an audio source other than mp2 then im pretty sure it wont work either

hence the beauty of VLC as you pointed out. it plays it

is there some despriate rason you want it to open in quicktime
