Re: divx, .avi, .mpeg/.mpg on mac question....
I say just dump quicktime for VLC media player. It plays just about any file thrown at it including divx, vcd, svcd, wmp, mov, and dvds. I have been using it for a pretty long time, even the original linux releases and never had a file it would not play well with.
