Cool, thanks. Just downloading the Divx codec didn't work for some reason
for Quicktime, but VideoLan does :-)

Grab yourself the free VideoLAN player at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
<http://www.videolan.org/vlc/>

I use it on PC and Mac and haven't come across a file it doesnt play yet,
although I do have
XVid / Divx codecs installed. . . .  . do give it a go.
