Thread: Divx on Windows Guest?


i've set few windows guest machines using virtualbox 4.0.6 on ubuntu 10.10 host system. i've installed guest additions no problems , can achieve resolution full-screen, seamless etc working no problem @ all. in windows 7 vm aero won't work.

don't need work aesthetic purposes want make work me. after few quick searches found although i've given guests both 2d video , 3d acceleration of host, because linux uses opengl , not divx won't allow me aero or run few games i'd run either.

far can see there 2 possible solutions

  • install/emulate divx on ubuntu host, , pass down guest system
  • install divx onto guest system manually - possibly through using graphics card driver disc.


wondering if either or both of things possible. if installed or emulated divx on host need function @ moment, not affecting compiz or nvidia twinview. if installed replacement drivers in virtualbox still ability have mouse pointer integration.

(i installed guest additions in safemode enable 3d stuff installed)

edit: thought, possible make windows 7 vm use opengl rendering aero @ all? option 3
