[MPlayer-users] Playing proprietary DivX?

[Bradley M Alexander]

Hi all,

Got a question about playing the old proprietary-format DivX. A friend gave
me one of the old DivX-DVDs, and I was wondering if MPlayer will play it. I
tried using mplayer -dvd 1 to play, but it couldn't find the vobs, which
were relocated to /zoom.

I tried copying the vobs to the hard drive, but got input/output errors for
each one and it copied a zero-byte file.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking
about might be another airplane going in the opposite direction.
Reliable sources also report that mountains have been known to hide
