    I use VirtualDUbb. But it couldnt play it I got this error message
    (couldnt locate decompressor for format xvid)

    You need to have XviD installed or something else that can handle the fourCC via VfW.

    I would be worried about the PCM audio though and the runtime. Looks like it could be a fake file to me.

    VfW = Video for Windows. It is the interface that VDub uses for video. If XviD was properly installed you would not get the error.
    In Vdub does XviD show up on the compression list? If not then it isn't installed properly.

    Most common reason for VfW codecs not installing is a corrupt vidc entry in the registry. Are you using Koepi's installer though? Because as I recall it checks and removes such entries.
