    that one installs... or so i think
    it doesn't seem to have any effect though for some reason... it doesn't even come up in the Add/Remove programs list is that meant to happen?
    the thing is that when i play this vid in DivX player it plays the video in slow motion and the sound is fine
    when i play it using VLC it plays the sound and video in sync but with sound glitches like a lil screech every now and then
    with every other player it just gives a choppy/jerky vid and the sound plays properly
    pls advise

    Well as for the choppiness, your machine, although it does seem like it is more than enough to do playback, it might be choking because of some system inefficiency -- I've got a P3-800 which, when optimized can play DivX movies very well but without that optimization, has a tendency to chop out quite a bit.

    Nothing specific I can really say because (a) i dont actually know anymore, I just "do it" now and (b) this thread is specifically for dealing with codec problems rather than other performance/playback issues

    hi, i have a couple of films i just can't seem to watch. they have an .avi at the end of filename. i followed all the instructions re codecs, uninstalled and then carried out everything suggested by praetor at the start (selectively installing all the various codecs), but the films still won't play, in any of the many players (other films play just fine). gspot says: "filetype: elemntary AAC Audio, ADTS hdrs; & Mime Type: n.a." and can't render because format is not supported. avicodec also doesn't recognise the film. Can anyone help?

    Praetor and all the rest, thank you very much for this godsend of a post. I've been battling codecs for a long time with myself usually on the losing end. Following your instructions for removal of the old codecs and the installation of the DivX Total Pack, all my problem files are able to be played. With that, I've found a new forum to troll!!

    Praetor, I'd preferred to follow your install method instead of using the Total Pack, but many of your links in your original posts are now dead, you may want to update them.

    Oops, well I did find a file that didn't play after all. I believe I was able to play it before, too. So in uninstalling all those .dll's and installing the Total Pack, it would appear that we do lose Indeo, or at least some Indeo if there's more than one version of it.

    An .avi file of mine wants to have Indeo's IV50 installed to play. I probably still have it in my Recycle Bin, but which one is it? I don't want to have a conflicting .dll in my system32 folder, and I'm not seeing a .dll in there that shows anything that looks like 'IV50'. Hmmm,... TIA!!!

    EDIT: Found one. Also, the Total Pack didn't give support for CVID files. Found that one too though. Thanks again!!

    Praetor, thank you very much for this godsend of a post. It's a great idea!
    If I change NIMO 5.0 Build 9 to K-Lite Codec Pack ver 2.27 and do the same steps in accordance with your technology will I receive the same result?
    At first glance K-Lite Codec has approximately all codecs what I need with exception of
    1)Div ;-) Audio 2)Div Fix 3)Avisynth. But these items I can add separately.
    Is this a reasonable idea or wrong way?
