Xvid MPEG4 File Won't Play

[Dick]

I downloaded an AVI file (TV show) and can't get it to play in any of
my players. Audio plays (MP3), but not the video. Video Toolbox
identifies it as an xvid mpeg-4 file. Microsoft Mplayer gives the
error message that it can't play a vids:xvid file. What program do I
need, and what CODEC do I need to play this file? I have searched
around the Microsoft KB's but haven't come up with anything useful.
