What are the minimum requirements for DivX playback?

This question cannot be answered generally. A Pentium II-300 might already give satisfying results if the other hardware components (especially graphics card) are fast enough. If you can live with frame drops and/or no fullscreen, grayscale, lower sound quality you can already try the DivX video playback on a Pentium 166. I can’t hear sound with some DivX videos. This might be because the sound is encoded with an audio codec that is currently unsupported. Check what audio codec the video uses by using File Info (F3). If you either get the message “unsupported” or “unknown” then this sound codec is currently unsupported. Also note that incompletely downloaded videos (QuickView Pro is used to preview the videos) are played without sound in some cases. By the way, Windows Media Player refuses to play these videos at all.
