I've reached the end of my patience because of a problem I can't solve, hoping someone can shed some light on things.
I've never had audio/video codec problems before, everything has worked fine with nimo for watching divx etc. I've struck HUGE problems with Xvids though and I figure I must be doing something wrong because it can't be this complicated....
If I do a basic nimo install (no xvid codec) and I play the file, the sound works fine but obviously with no picture. If I uninstall nimo and install the standalone xvid codec, the picture is fine (but with no sound). If I install nimo and then standalone xvid it DOESN'T work! I get garbled green crap but sound works fine.
When I use g-spot to see what codecs are needed it says everything is fine apart from audio - ac3 (0x2000) "Dolby Laboratories, Inc" NOT found. The funny thing is that the sound works but the picture doesn't when I have everything installed. But if I uninstall nimo the picture will work and if I uninstall xvid (leaving nimo installed) the sound will work. Both will not work at the same time.
I tried uninstalling nimo and installing only the ac3 audio but that just gave me a good but slow picture and garbled sound.
Something to do with directshow?
Any ideas because i'm fresh out of them....
Cheers.
