Angelpotion codec

[Rannar]

I have an *.avi file encoded with the following video specs:
Frame rate: 23 frames/second
Data rate: 135 kbps
Video sample size: 24 bit
Video compression: Angelpotion

I have installed DivX5.02 and I have tried using Windows Media Player and the player that comes along with DivX5.02 but I cannot make it work.

All I get is a white screen with som small horizontal stribes. The sound is ok but the image is not.

I have located an Angelpotion codec on the internet but that made no difference, does anyone have an idea?

AngelPotion is another MP43 hack. You might try changing the FourCC code in your file from "AP41" to "MP43" to see if it will play with that codec. (AVI FourCC Changer can do this for you.) No promises, however.

Thanks

Your advice did not quite solve the problem but it allowed me to find the correct codec, as the program you directed me to told me that the *.AVI file was encoded with XviD (proporties on the file still says: Angelpotion??), so I just downloaded that codec and the image was fine and dandy.

Ah, yes. It's the old "Truth in Labeling" deal again.

Glad it worked out for you!
