I have every codec I can imagine installed. Yet, when trying to run it in any player, I always got a video error and the player telling me that I don't have the right codec. Please tell me what I need to install so I can have Video Data: FOURCC code "XVID" working.

An XVID codec or the FFD Show Filter (the filter is for playback only)...

Download and install FFDShow (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow). Configure it to handle XviD contents (and DivX, if you wish). Don't forget to enable Post-processing as well.

By the way, it is called FFDShow, not FFD Show...

It may be false, but I've noticed that 3ivx videos have the same fourCC code that Xvid..and I can say that the 3ivx codec (that is not installed on my pc :bglaugh2: ) can't render Xvid files.
So: always install codecs you only need.

:smashead:

So how do we actually use it? I don't see any instructions, and looking at all the cool features of the configuration screen gets boring after a while.

How do we actually use FFDShow to play these movies?

Thanks!

Go to FFDShow Configuration -> Codecs and enable the FourCC types you want FFDShow to handle.

I figured that part! :D

so now do we just start up a normal video player? there appears to be no method of playing videos from FFDShow (which I am beginning to think was not meant to actually play the videos directly.)

using ffdshow-20030523.

Yes.


"there appears to be no method of playing videos from FFDShow (which I am beginning to think was not meant to actually play the videos directly.)"

You got that correct too.
