When I run the file I get "Please install DIvx codec" errror message (the audio played but no video)
I thought splash pro already have this codec built in.

Splash is a dedicated HD H264 player. Your avi file is encoded with xvid. Just install xvid codec to be able to see the video stream.

Splash does not include divx/xvid codec.
It requires a codec to be installed.
