To
display the web videos on this site you must
install the DivX Web Plus Player. This software
is free and required in ordered to decode and
display the embedded videos. There is a good
chance you already have the necessary files
installed already. If so all you have to do is
click "play." If you do not have the neccesary
files installed you can probably figure it out
on your own. Start by clicking the off-white box
at the top of the page and follow the prompts.
Your web browser knows what you need and it will
automatically try and download it for you. If
your not computer savvy don't worry, we'll walk
you through it and it should only take a few
minutes depending on your internet connection
speed.
If
you do not have they necessary files your screen
will not have a video displaying. Instead you
will have an off-white dialogue box appear at
the top of the webpage like the picture below.
This box will say; "The website wants to run the
following add-on: DivX (R) Web Payer from DivX,
Inc.; If you trust the website and the add-on,
and want to install it click here..." This is
what we need to accomplish.
1.) Click: the off-white box.
2.) Click: Install this add-on
for All Users on This Computer...
If you want, or you have time you
can read the License Agreement. I didn't,
and assume you probably don't either. It is
pretty much your standard EULA stuff for every
program. If you agree then...
3.) Click/Select: the checkbox
next to "I accept the terms in the license
agreement." Once you have checked the box
than the "Accept >" button at the bottom right
of this dialogue page will become available
4.) Click: "Accept>"
In this step you will have to
select the components for the DivX software that
you wish to install. The first component, "DivX
Plus Web Player" will, by default, be selected.
That is all you need to display the web videos.
If you wish to install the other components as
well that is your choice but not necessary to
display these videos. Not all components are
free but they are all free to try. Again, the
DivX Plus Web Player is free.
5.) Make sure the "DivX Plus Web
Player" component is selected (it should be by
default) than click: "Next>"
At this point DivX may ask you if
you would also like it to install some software
from some of there partners. It may be the
"Norton Securty Scan" like in the screen capture
below or something different. This is not
necessary to install the DivX software. If you
do not wish to install this additional
unnecessary software you do not have to. I never
do. If you don't than...
6.) UnCheck/DeSelect the "Include
Norton Security Scan (or any other partner
software DivX is enquireing about,) once the
Check Box is empty...
7.) Click: "Next>"
At this time, like most other
software installation packages DivX will ask if
you want to sign up for the DivX Newsletter.
Don't worry, you do not have to sign up.
Honestly, probably noone does. Why would any
want yet another message in there inbox just
waiting to be deleted. By the time you get a
newsletter from them your videos will be working
and you will probably forget who or what DivX
is. Unless (like some people I know) your HTPC
or hacked xbox is jam packed with 1,000s of
titles in DivX, Xvid,MKV, etc. Anyway, I'm
rambling...You do not have to register for the
newsletter so I wouldn't.If you do not want to
than...
7.) Click: "Finish"
Next, the page should reload and
look something like the following screen
capture. You may also see a message picture
instead of the black screen with the DivX Logo.
This is good.
Finally when you click on the
picture in the movie preview area or the small
"play" icon in the bottom left of the player
controls, than you should get a "buffering"
sign. This is good. it means you are all done
and your video will begin playback shortly.
