Hi,

I have an AVI video clip which will not play back in any player I have tried it in, ie Windows Media Player 9, Real Player, Power DVD5, NeroMix. When inserted into GSpot it gives the following information regarding the clip: VIDEO: Codec: 4CC - DX50/divx, Name - DivX 5.0, xcy - 640x352, Bitrate -1288kb/s, FPS 25.00, Qf - 0.229 bits/pixel. AUDIO: Codec: Name - ac3 (0x2000) Doloby Laboratories, Bitrate - 448 kb/s (5ch) CBR, Fs - 48000 Hz. Direct Show Render: Video Src Type - 4cc: DX50, Audio Src Type- AC3 (0x2000). Video Path : (S) -> AVI splitter -> fddshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder -> (R). Audio Path: (S) -> AVI Splitter -> ffdshow Audio Decoder -> (R). When played in WMP 9 the error come up "Windows Media Player 9 has encountered a problem and needs to shut..", very little other information is gine. I have ffdshow -20040520 and AC3 Filter installed.

Why does this clip not play back in Windwos Media Player 9 or any of the other players I have tried and what do I need to do to be able to play it back?

Many thanks for your help and attention.

I have AC3Filter v0.70b installed. I believe it is the same one that is found at the link given in the last reply.
