I have some xVid files but there is no sound. Quicktime says I'm missing some files, but the closest I can find is an xVid codec which turns out to only run in Windows.

there is a problem with some xvid files encoded with a specific program (can't remember the name of it). but if you download VLC player, it will play pretty much anything

. and you should have no problem with xvid files on it.
