A RiffTrax On Demand Short!

But WHERE is the god damned code?        

That's the thing, it's different for every device. They say it's either in a DVD setup menu of some kind or in a manual. I thought I remember reading that it could be found on the back where the mfg information is, but I'm not so sure now.

On my Toshiba SD-499OSU (I think is what it is .. $80 DVD player from Best Buy), I have to go to the Setup menu (there is a button on the remote called "Setup") and scroll to the last option, which is called "Default." From there I select the menu item "DivX registration" and when I do, it gives me the registration code along with the URL of the VOD support page.

Of course this does vary from machine to machine, so if it's not actually anywhere in your menu, there's a good possibility your device is not really DivX certified. I have a friend who works for them and she says that they have found some companies will throw the DivX logo on there just to sell machines, even though it's not really certified. Unfortunate situation, I know, but there isn't a whole lot we can do about it except to direct you to their list of certified devices.

Wait, their is a challenge flag on the play.    The refreres are now looking at the replay monitor to see if I am stuck using my PC for playback or buying a new DVD player just for Divx playback.     I received another e-mail today from another person on the divx help desk that details out to me the "hidden" buttons to hit to get the divx code for my player.    Why, if this works   

Hell, even if it does not, watching it on my laptop is not the end of the world.

For model(s) DVD-HD860

Press the "MENU" button on the remote
Press the "DOWN ARROW" three times to highlight Setup
Press the "RIGHT ARROW" once
Press the "DOWN ARROW" four times to highlight DivX Registration
Press the "ENTER" button on the remote
DivX VOD Registration code now displays

*Allow me to quote myself*

"Upon further review, the play on the field stands as called, PSLOwner's shitty DVD player is not Divx Certified.    PSLOwner is charged a time out and he better hit the booze".

I think the Divx website is messed up and my DVD player is not Divx certified after all.   There is a point in the set up where it says to:

"Press the "DOWN ARROW" four times to highlight DivX Registration
Press the "ENTER" button on the remote"

Naturally, there are only three items on my machine to display, so arrowing down four times takes me to the top.   So, I am out of luck.

I purchased a Panosonic plasma set for the bedroom a couple months ago and it came with a free home theater system, alas, that does not play divx either.

S*I*G*H*.   

So, I guess I need to decide if I want to buy ANOTHER DVD player just to play Divx DVDs since I dont want to get a HD or Blue Ray player until they make up their mind.

I bought a DVD player that plays Divx a couple of weeks ago, It only cost me $40. And that's in Australian dollars.

I say do it.

Who am I kidding, of course I am going to break down and get the cheapest Divx device possible after the holidays.   These damn Rifftrax folks have their hooks in me man, they have their hooks in me!    Worse than tar heroin they are!

Don't forget to buy the Rifftrax Brand Divx player.

My Signal 30 video won't play anymore. It's giving me some sort of error message about the viewing time running out or something...

Me too:



It looks like it might be on the 48 hour rental. If you go here: http://shop.rifftrax.com/signal-30-download you can download the TIX file again which will let you watch it. It doesn't redownload the full file or anything and the TIX file is like 1kb.

But the .tix file is assigned to your user; it doesn't re-generate a new .tix file. At least, it shouldn't.

If you want to watch it again I can re-authorize your download. I think it's set to "unlimited" days but like, 3 or 5 watches.

When you click the "get video" on the error it sends you right to the home page. I went to the Signal 30 download page and downloaded the TIX file and played it fine.
