Windows Media Player 9 built in xvid/divx?

[greenbox]

How come i can play divx/xvid files fine without installing either codec? Does Windows Media Player 9 have built in support for these files or something?

nvm, i answered my own question. I checked to see the properties while the movie was playing and found out its using Nero Video Decoder.

Nice job! Have you tried any of the other media players such as ZPlayer
VLC, BSplayer. Less bulky then media player 9 and free.

Installing Nero6 will actually install Nero's own xvid/divx codec but to be honest, I find I can install the free divx codec from www.divx.com, without the player, then delete (!) the divx folder in program files and everything works fine.

If you use Zoom Player and open a movie, you can actually see which filters are in use.
