Hi all, is there any free program for Windows XP that is like TCMP? I want to watch DivX movies on my laptop, but TCMP only works for Windows Mobile. So, what other free programs are there that can play DivX? Thanks for the help!

college life...what more can I say?

you need media player classic from here... http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ you may still need to find the codecs for playing divx
everything you need to know about audio video encoding and playing with free software can be found here http://www.doom9.org/

You're kidding right?

Go here and find joy! There are several other option out there too.

media player classic + ffdshow

what about free divx player from divx.com ???????

Or Video Lan Player

Or you can just use this
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download
Its TCPMP compiled for windows..... (scroll down to win32 version)

   

bingo!

download CCCP (plays all my anime and movies)

For me, any player that does not support command line options is useless.
Your best bet is Zoomplayer (free for standard version), that’s what I use on my HTPC. Media Player Classic is also a great player.
TCPMP for win32 is a great player for a very very very slow laptop or if you want to extend your battery life, it uses very little CPU.

Woah woah woah! If you want one of the best alternatives to powerdvd and media player, bsplayer is the ONLY way to go.

This app is free, and more powerful than both. It's also compact, and VERY fast. I've yet to find something it can't play!

X50v/X51v 2700g Accelerated Game List - Have something not listed? PM me!

If you want the familiar TCPMP look get the Win32 version of TCPMP as mentioned above. I have personally tested all mentioned programs and would recommend VLC because it is definately the best. It supports all video formats possible (more than most comercial products) and you can stream to others . If you want a Media Center clone that can play audio, video, and TV plus much more check out Media Portal It rocks and is open source! But, if you're only playing divX your best bet would be to install the DivX Play bundle (this way you can even watch DivX movies through Windows Media Player and any other Diretshow capable player.
FFDshow is also highly recommended for video encoded in codecs like DivX. It has many nice post processing features, but it's hard to figure out at first.

And finally, if you want something easy to work with that doesn't need to be installed (portable drive) Media Player Classic is your best bet.

You can find most players I mentioned at Free-Codecs . Good luck, and I hope you find the best free player for your needs (I personally have all installed - Media Player Classic on a USB stick).

P.S. For your personal problem I would install the DivX play pack and play the files using Windows Media Player.
