I just downloaded some divx movies and when I tried to play them they were just blank, no video, no sound. I checked the codec with gspot and it says divx 5.0. I just re-installed the divx 5.1.1 codec and still doesn't work. Any advice?
Have you installed like loads of codec packs or anything? Might be a codec conflict! Where did you get this file, u sure its real?
The only codec I have downloaded is divx, no packs. I downloaded about 20 files all about 500mb from kazaa only 1 works. The one that works the codec is Mpeg 4 version 3. The others all say divx5. They can't all be fakes can they?
This message is for Dela and any other users that might be able to help. Like the user that started this thread, I have also been unable to get any sound or video out of my AVI files, whether I play them in QuickTime, RealOne or WMP. I've downloaded and installed GSpot (AVI files are apparently DIVx5), FFDSHOW as well as Nimo50 Codec Pack. None proved to work. The files seem to be running, but I don't get any sound or video. Any input would be GREATLY appreciated.
i think kazaa is kinda shady. i only trust bittorrent, and anime. try loading in a video editor like virtualdub and see if its fake or not. realone is evil.its even worse than wmp9. use media player classic.
Shiron, thanks for the reply. I've installed VirtualDub and when I open the file I get "Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'DX50' (unknown)". Any thoughts on that?
The NIMO codec pack can be a bitch when you dont use it properly so I'm afraid I have to suggest that you drop it! The DivX 5 codec should play your file in WMP though!
