XviD crashes mplayer

[gurra]

Hi.

I just installed ffdshow after having some troubles with xvid files - I didnt get any sound.

Now I have sound, but the media player crashes after a few seconds and a standard error message pop up.

Same **** happens when I try to play the file with PowerDVD.

According to GSpot everything is fine.

do you both use any codec pack? if so, throw them away.

codec pack? in ffdshow?

[BoF]

codec pack like klite, nimo, tsunami...
what they install is never used and the only things it brings are conflicts.

I dont recall installing anything with those names.

be sure that you are using ffdshow-alpha (ffdshow-20030523.exe). check in ffdshow properties that it is configured to handle divx/xvid. you can try Media Player Classic to see filters in use while playing a video.
