    downloading films is illegal and not to be mentioned here, hehe

    http://www.k-lite.tk/ - for purposes such as watching free/legal avi's/divx's codecs can be found here that will cover just about anything.

    If you're going to do something illegal, don't tell the world about it :)

    Look for a program called 'gspot', it will tell you what codecs you need to play a particular movie file. The most common codecs are in the nemo codec pack and the kazaa lite codec pack, which is available at the link bob_bot posted.

    You can download the DivX codec at www.divx.com , or else the open-source ffdshow here: http://athos.leffe.dnsalias.com/

    Personally I've seen codec packs - esp nemo - cause more issues than they ever solve. Besides which you're only likely to need about 5 codecs anyway - DivX, XviD, AC3, OggVorbis & MS Mpeg4.

    Agree with Sico though - gspot is the dogs bollocks for info about video files...
