Doesn't help me on windows though, dude. :(
Anyway, I downloaded the ad-ware Stefano pointed me to.
FYI: If you want to play the video in QuickTime Player (etc.) the free version of DivX 5.0.4 codec for MacOSX from <http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/> works well.
Unless (like me :) you had 3ivx D4 4.0.4 installed in /Library/QuickTime/ which overrode the DivX codec .... I had to remove it first.
Top job Stefano!
thanks mate!
OK, I had a go at making a SMIL of Steven's Introduction :
<smil
xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions";
qt:autoplay="false"
qt:time-slider="true"
qt:immediate-instantiation="true"><!-- should not need this -->

It works beautifully when the .avi is a local file, but not when it is loaded over the net. I checked this in QT Player (entering the URL) and directly in Safari, and it also completely fails to play, even after having buffered it. No Audio, jerky video. I also tried saving the SMIL as a Composite, fast-start .mov (with external references), but still no go ....
So maybe the DivX codec is not so good after all :)
OK, so I could re-process the video so it would maybe work, but the whole idea was to re-use the existing files in different containers.
