Playing DIVX

What can I use to play movies using the DIVX codec? How about MOV? I dual boot win98 & Redhat, so is it possible to use codecs or players from the Windows partition?

people really shouldn't reply for absolutley no reason.

ok, there's a bunch of players:

Xine
Ogle
Mplayer
Avifile
OMI
etc...

i've got xine and MPlayer working perfectly at the moment. Xine is more full featured, while Mplayer is hotkey based. ALl worth a look. These 'Players' are generally just shells and frontends to standard video libraries, which you'll find all about when you install
