Playing DivX videos like those at Stage6

Asked by Eminem

How can I be able to view DivX videos like those at Stage6? I tried using the Firefox add-on MediaPlayerConnectivity to let me to view them in VLC and even install the mplayer plugin for Firefox (mplayer-mozilla) but it didn't work as well.

I need to be able to view DivX videos.

I'm not sure I understand the question. However, this page has some information on using non-free multimedia codecs:

and this page talks about the preferable ones :)

Installing the totem-mozilla package should work fine for DivX videos, except for some problems with buffering (only a problem if your internet connection isn't fast enough). Make sure you can play divx videos in totem normally otherwise this won't work.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Eminem for more information if necessary.
