I've got some diving avi's that I'm trying to play. I've tried QT, Mplayer, VLC but nothing opens them.
I've downloaded and installed the codec from 3ivx but still no joy.
Any way to play this on my mac (Tibook OSX 10.3.
Cheers,
J.

IVxx codecs are Indeo, which is available for OS 9 (hosted by apple somewhere), but which hasn't been updated for any OS since years before OS X 10.0 was released. So there's no OS X codec, nor will there be. I've heard rumors that the ffmpeg project is working on an Indeo 3 decoder, but it's not ready yet, and Indeo 3, 4 and 5 are NOT backwards or forwards compatible

you can play them with a classic version of quicktime player, if you have 9 installed.

thanks for that. I don't have OS9 installed. is there any way that I could convert them to some other format, either on the mac or the pc, so that I could play them using vlc or similar.
Cheers,

With QuickTime Pro, you can convert to a variety of other formats. Still requires OS 9, of course...
