Are you using both an <object> and an <embed> tag so it is compatible with both browsers?

I am just using <object> tag for divx player I am using <embed> tag for livevideo bbcode and I am using passiveVid product

I'm not familiar with the exact code for a divx video, I just know that firefox uses one type of tag and IE the other. I'm sure you can google for the correct html to use for cross browser compatibility.

DIVX uses this as embed code:

<object type="video/divx" data="http://video_player_source.divx" width="500" height="360"><param name="type" value="video/divx" />
   <param name="src" value="$p1" />
   <param name="data" value="$p1" />
   <param name="codebase" value="http://video_player_source.divx" />
   <param name="mode" value="full" />
   <param name="minVersion" value="1.0.0" />
   <param name="pluginspage" value="http://go.divx.com/plugin/download/" />
   <param name="allowContextMenu" value="true" />
   <param name="autoplay" value="false" />
   <param name="url" value="$p1" /></object>

You need to have the video source in two places.

DIVX also just recently updated their software, so check to make sure it's updated for Windows.
