Try this thread for some of those.

Not going to find all of them though. I can't think of anything free, that would have the same functionality that Nero does. DivX IS FREE, so I don't know what your deal is there. You only have to buy it if you want the Player and other stuff packaged with the Pro version.

for divx you could use kristal studio's codec pack.

don't hate me b/c im beautiful. knowledge is power. all of you need to get some. anandtech has gone down the shitter lately.

divx costs money? interesting ... i didn't know that.

in any event, the highest recommended divx codec is koepi's xvid binaries. most people who create divx in whatever way swear upon those codecs and make sure there's complete compatibility with his codecs. and no, you don't need other codecs once this is installed.

your knowledge is not what the OP is seeking. he wants free and legal alternatives, not illegal alternatives.
