    I am having a problem playing a divx file on my p.c without glitches,(audio,picture looks almost like its x-rayed at times when fast forwarding)I can convert to dvd with good picture but audio is out of sync.I dont know if this is just this file or a codec.divx I used gspot to see what codec and it says divx3 low motion,and that it is installed. so after trying to convert with divxtodvd and then nero many times I had many problems,so I ran codec tweak tool and it said it detected broken codec.So now I uninstall and reinstall klite codec pack.As I am about to finish install A message pops up reading the following:

    "the following direct show filter was detected as broken
    name: divx decoder filter
    file name: unknown
    clsid: clsid_divx deux HKEY_classes_ root\clsid\{083863f1-70de-11do- bd40-00aoc911 ce 86\instance\clsid-divx deux

    reason: missing required key hkey-classes_root\clsid .................etc.

    Do i need to go to run reg edit and add this missing key?
    I can find the area of this in the registry and it says set value and i do not know how to add the key, because it says the key is listed in the top right corner. Or should I add a new divx codec from somewhere? What divx codec should i look for so I know.

    Thanks

    DivX is free, for only decoding purposes, so I wonder: why people should make their lifes do complicated, using codec packs instead of the original software? (90% AVI files are DivX, 10% are Xvid, which is completely free, for both decompressing and compressing purposes)

    90% of avi's use DivX?

    All scene releases are XviD, so if you mean avi's available for download, then no where near 90% would be compressed with DivX.

    thanks foryour help,I do believe the file have is corrupt.I have downloaded a new divx codec and a divx player so I guess I will just have to watch the file on the player since it works flawlessly on it.Then I will just have to discard it. I did find out my codec was faulty thanks to scherlock in tools from klite codec pack, And also my avi header was broke thanks to gspot,fixed with divfix,now it says file truncated in the legacy index area
    ยท 18.5 MB (or 19,045 KB or 19,502,788 bytes) are missing
    My last option will be to look for a program that will add the missing data,or I will just keep searching for another copy of this file.( I DONT LIKE TO GIVE UP ON ANYTHING THAT I START.)

    One more thing I was wondering about, is there any program out there that can tell if the program has corrupt,damaged,missing data before trying to play/convert,burn etc. (If so ,which one is recommended.
