Download and install the FFDShow filter...

To setarip:

In "mole351's" initial inquiry (link to the thread in my previous post), he/she installed the FFDShow filter but stated the AVI still would not play.

Are you saying this is a duplicate post by "mole351"? If so, you should have advised "mole351" of the rules...

[ormonde]

"you should have advised "mole351" of the rules"

You're right I should have, although it was in a different sub-forum.

both of you setarip and ormonde please excuse me seconding
this post.

@mole351

just install the divx codec pro 5.1
there is an adware financed version in the softwaresection
of this site. install and reboot anew.

to disable the spyware in this codec:

start--> execute-> type in >msconfig< . (without the brackets)
then refer to the autostart menue of the new window, that pops up. here you will find a program named "Trickler" or "GainTrickler"
just disable this one and it won´t spy again.

note that you must remove any prior divx codecs when installing this (also divxcodecs brought along by codec packs as well as the
direct show filters of these!!!!)

if this still does not work goto:

Start-->Programs->Divx pro codec adware-->
decoder configuration utilitiy-->(new window) Quality settings-->
and enable the "support generic mpeg4 " option.
divx pro will now try to jump into all Mpeg4 codecs that it knows.

you MUST disable the ffd show (direct show ) codec before,
or configurate it to only decode Xvid!!! NO DIVX 5 .

very significant testing of mine revealed that it uses less system resources....
