hi i had trouble with one single movie... since i had a lot of codecs installed i decided to clear everything up and i followed your instructions to download and install only the codecs i need... now i can't play any of my movies that used to work fine before (sometimes they don't work at all, sometimes just the sound is missing) and additionally i can't even play mp3s anymore - no sound at all. pleeeeeaaaase help!!!!!
If for some reason you don't have the MP3 codec (or it has managed to become corrupted), you can obtain the Radium MP3 codec from http://www.softnews.ro/public/cat/11/1/2/11-1-2-10.shtml
to booty and ishitero i tried downloading the divx total pack like ishitero, and i get the same problem "invalid or corrupted", i tried various times and nada. hey ishitero..what did you do different this time?
i have recently downloaded a movie with the desrcription "teg radio cd1 telesynch.avi" and i have tried many different players but i get is a black screen everytime with a divx logo in the bottom right corner. i used GSpot and my 4cc code was "DX50/divx" and i used divx and it still doesnt work. will someone please help me. thank you very much.
to Praetor: thanks for your directions. now, i am able to read the 'avi's that i downloaded. but, i still have a problem - when i convert to 'DVD' or 'DISK IMAGE' and try to read the converted file - the sound (about 2/3 through the movie) gets out of sync and then disappears. any suggestions as to why this happens? i am using 'ULEAD' for conversion.
to madskim06: have you tried the divx total pack? look on the previous replies for the link...and uninstall all your codecs before installing the total pack.
Thank you...Thank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank youThank you!! That guide was a huge help, and solved a problem I've been trying to fix for a few days now. Thanks!!!
KSE: Cheers. madskim06: If you followed my instruction set to the letter (i.e., did absolutely everything listed there in the order it was listed) and all you get is the black screen with the DivX logo in the bottom right then might i suggest that it IS a fake? (i.e., it is a valid movie, i.e., the codecs work out and everything but it isnt the movie you expected.) Do you get audio? If so, what audio codecs are needed? Also, try playing the movie in a different player (i.e., try VirtualDub, that can play damn near anything).
Eeeeeeeeeeeek.... I just tried out the DivX Total Pack 1.7 and I must say, maybe it works well, maybe it doesnt, I wont judge that (and I assume that it playes every movie Ive got and blah blah). The thingt hat gets to me is that it doesnt give me ANY control whatsoever on what I installing onto my computer. Furthermore, I need to reboot complete the installtion. Even if it works well,, the lack of control over what exactly is getting installed is a definite turn off for me. Anyways, just my 2 cents.
to praetor understood. its more for people like novices and those who just want their videos to play and dont know what to install. for a recap Divx Total Pack works damn well but comes with no options
1. Agreed it does work (i think) 2.

Praetor, I was having some problems with Xvid movies, and I strictly followed your step-by-step guide. Now I keep having the same problem, WMP (8) sends an error every time I want to play the movie. The same happens using Divx Player and WMP 6.4. GSpot tells me there are 4 compatible codecs installed: XviD MPEG-4 Codec ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder 3vix D4 Video Decoder Can you think of any solutions? I think this is because when I uninstalled everything some crap as dlls or something was left and is causing conflicts, don´t you think? In this case, do you know a way to COMPLETELY uninstall everything? Thank you very much.
In GSpot, load up the AVI file and click Render at the bottom, what is the Video path? Do you have any lucky playing the movie in say, VirtualDub? _X_X_X_X_X_[small]ASUS A7V8X-X, AMD2500+ Samsung 1024MB, PC2700 360GB [3x120GB, 7200, 8MB] MSI Starforce, GeForce4 Ti4400 128MB Rules and Policies: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487 AFTERDAWN IRC: irc.addictz.net, #ad_buddies COME SAY HI![/small]
Praetor, I got kinda anxious and I finally could fix the problem. I loaded GSpot, and went to ¨See Video Codecs¨ or something like that... well, the thing is that it told me all the dlls that were related to all codecs. So I went to the system32 folder and deleted ALL the dlls the GSpot told me were codecs (I know this was a little risky, but anyway...) to complete uninstall EVERYTHING. After this I followed your letter again, and now I´m able to see every Xvid and any movies. Thank you for your help. Cya
Thanks you to all the people that gave advice. I had an issue with the audio being out of snyc with only some AVI files. I unistalled all codecs, then installed FFDshow, AC3 and the DIVX 5.1.1 Bundle..and all is working perfectly..So thanks again !!!
