How to read a divx/xvid without any codec installed

[hazmat42]

BTW there is one small mistake in martin1's BSP standalone receipe:

You need to use "mpgaudio.ax", not "mpegaudio.ax". I assume martin1
was refering the the ac3-->avi xform .ax file. Make sure also that you
change all the "mpegaudio.ax" text to "mpgaudio.ax", namely in the
bspfilters.dat file.

I learned that lesson the hardway as I was tearing my hair out not being
able to get my CD autorun to work and then realizing all I had to do was
delete a lousy "e" in my bspfilters.dat file! Hope this helps out somebody!

I'd like to give a heads up to martin1 for posting the receipe. Really helps me out when I want to give a video file to someone who doesn't
have a clue about codecs, etc., and is paranoid about installing stuff on
their computer (not that I can half blame them).

Thanks.
