Can i install DivX, Xvid at the same time andnot have any compatibility problems? I don't want them arguing witheach other, I only want them to coexist peacefully in the same XPcomputer without bickering. I'm not really familiar with theintricacies of codecs, but I think I understand a single movie isUSUALLY released in only one type of codecs format at a time, right, oram I wrong... If I install these two, and the emerging x264 as well, Idon't want any problems, Is this a simple affair or will I have to getdirty in the details? I'd like to install as little as possible, likingto easily track what exactly is being changed in a way that I'm atleast semi-aware of, but both Xvid and especially x264 are new to me. Idon't want to lose control and have the computer turn into messy ballof unsolvable wax and have to reinstall again. Not soon anyways.
