Cant get divx 4.11 encoded movies to play

Nefarion · 25 Nov 2001, 03:44 PM

I made my first video using the divx low motion codec, later to find out that the divx 4.11 codec is much better, especially since im on a pentium 4. Anyhow, ive had the codec for a while, just didnt realize that it was newer/better.I tried to make the video (using flaskmpeg) with the divx 4.11 codec but, when its done and i try and play it (on any media player) it says format is not supported. Its weird that Flaskmpeg would reconize that i have the codec but not windows mediaplayer or a few others that i tried to play it with. My operating system is windows XP, im on a 1.8ghz P4, 512k RAM, 80 gigs of HD space. Ive had trouble playing many DIVX movies in the past (i cant remember a specific one that i got to play), so im guessing all those were ripped using the 4.11 codec therfor, me not being able to play them. Anyone got any ideas??

Hey Nefarion,

what´s up? Ok, let me get to your question. At first I had the same problem on my system (bit slower that yours; P2 350, 320Mb, 4.3 GiGs HDspace). I couldn´t play the DivX 4.x files within Windows Media Player. BUT they did work in the (lame) "Tha Playa" player. Why I didn´t know. And I still don´t. Anyway it works fine for me now after reinstalling all DivX codecs.

You can maybe also install the Nemo Code pack and have it all in once

Greetings, Marc
