thom Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Does anybody know how to deploy the divx codec through group policy? We have a programme that uses it but when you deploy the software it skips the codec installation so I wanted to chain divx on after the software.
mac_shinobi Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 what program uses it ? Possibly either make an msi of videolan or the codec installer ?? divx codec : http://www.divxmovies.com/software/ videolan : http://www.videolan.org/vlc Other then that not sure , but would be interesting to find out
mac_shinobi Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Remember VideoLan isn't legal.. shaz buckets Is it just the deccs part of it that makes it illegal or what is it that makes it illegal in the uk or europe ?
Geoff Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Well the VideoLan FAQ deals with these points. Is libdvdcss legal What about personal/commercial usage? I also read that second FAQ entry to read that you must be careful when distributing codecs yourself. So it might impact thoms plan even though he isn't using VideoLan.
thom Posted May 8, 2007 Author Posted May 8, 2007 The programme that uses it is called ClickView http://www.clickview.co.uk I e-mailed them with the issue and they told me that it can't be done through group policy. The clickview app installs ok but the codec doesn't. I will have to install locally for now until I get it sorted. If I get anywhere I shall feed back
amfony Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 sorry to resurrect dead thread - but id rather reawaken then start a new one. We too are now on the click view bandwagon, has anyone made progress with the divX deployment? I have tried couple of things but bubkus.
dalsoth Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I think i just created a package and rolled it out through group policy for Xvid. Seemed to do the trick.
amfony Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I got a response from ClickView for anyone caring. They provide a Xvid MSI either only after requesting from tech support or just very recently added it as a KB article (or third option - im slightly backwards and didnt see in on their site) http://www.clickview.com.au/downloads/xvid/xvidinstaller.msi Rock and Roll
Arthur Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 If anyone would like a more up-to-date Xvid package I have uploaded the one I created here. Mine has several advantages over the ClickView package. * It is based on the latest version of the Xvid codec (v1.2.1-04122008) so supports things like multi-CPU encoding if you need it along with lots of bug fixes. The ClickView package uses Xvid v1.1.3_28062007 which is ancient. * It isn't just a wrapper around the Xvid executable so it will uninstall properly. The ClickView package doesn't remove the Xvid codec files when you uninstall the .msi! * It doesn't create any shortcuts on the start menu.
Arthur Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I've updated my Xvid package to v1.2.2. It can be downloaded from here should anyone need it. This link won't expire btw. 2

Arthur Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Media Player Classic The original author of Media Player Classic stopped working on MPC almost two years ago, so Media Player Classic - Home Cinema would be a better choice since it contains a lot more features/bug fixes. Also, you don't really need any codec packs if you use ffdshow-tryouts & Haali Media Splitter.

Arthur Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Speaking of OS X, Perian is really cool. It's like ffdshow-tryouts but for Mac's.
