Im sending a DivX rip of the NCAA National Championships to a friend and UNC alum who is currently serving in Iraq and has yet to get to watch the win. Problem is, I somehow doubt that whatever computer access he has is going to be able to play divx movies--so I need a lightweight player that will fit on the 5 megs or less of space on the CD-R that I will have left after burning the game.

Any suggestions?

VLC should fit and it does not require any admin privileges on the computer to install and use. It's 6.74MB in exe format. zip would probably be less.

That should do it. Thanks for the help!

Get it while it lasts. The mpeg2 patent may be shutting it down soon.

I've used Zoom Player and had great success, though I think you may need the DivX codec separately. The player is only 1.08 Mb which makes it highly portable though!
