For DVD, you can try my Xine packages:

or VLC from drjones.dk . Beware that neither gives smooth playback yet.


For DivX, we're out of luck I'm afraid. I've been trying in vain to get
OpenDivX working, and even if it worked it wouldn't play all the DivX movies
available. For those you need Win32 codecs.
