I converted a small part of a ripped DVD-movie in DivX (with FlaskMPEG using DivX codec 5), and it seems to play fine in the DivX player 2.0. But when I tried to play the same file in WMP, I only got the sound, but no image. It interpreted the file like an mp3 one. Strange thing is that when I play a downloaded, full DivX movie (it's a pretty old one though, codec 3.11 I suppose), everything works fine. GSpot doesn't tell me anything, all codecs should be installed properly... Any sugestions? Thanks

Have you tried opening in VirtualDub/NanDub?
Can you post what GSpot says for video playback?

This is what GSpot says: (see Attachment)
I don't have VirtualDub, so I haven't checked it...
ThxComment

It would seem DivX 5 codec is installed. I'll asume it's 5.02
Download VirtualDub and see if you can open the avi.

Strange.
Try going to Start/programs/DivX/Decoder configeration and settings. Untick all the boxes.

Still no luck, all were unticked but for 'smooth playback', and even with that unchecked WMP still only plays the audio...Comment

here are the results...
Perhaps there's a simple answer, the file is to small, or I should convert the entire dvd?
Thx for your efforts.Comment

Seems ok.
The only other thing I can think of is video overlay.
Assuming the avi is created correctly, which it looks like it is, try reinstalling your video card.

I don't believe it's the video overlay: WMP doesn't even try to portray any image, it just plays the file like a mp3-one, with a big image of a musical note in the middle. And since I haven't had any problem with this, I think it's highly unlickely. It seems to me that it's just WMP that plays the file with some kind of codec of its own, and doesn't use the DivX-codec. Perhaps if I reinstall WMP that it would work, but since it isn't really my priority, I suppose time will tell...
But anyway, thanks for all your advise.
