No Sound and No picture

[Takabru]

Hello,

I am kind of new to all this so bear with me I will try to explain the problem the best I can. I have a movie I am trying to watch that shows no picture or sound no matter which version I download. Here is the info I get with Movie Type Finder:

FourCC Info:
FileStrean: DiVX
Compressed Stream: DX50

This FourCC code is used for versions 4.0 and later of DiVX codec.

Here is my system:

Athalon 1.4 with a Geforce 2 400 64mb vid card
DiVX bundle 5.0.2 installed
Windows Media Player (latest version)
Windows 2000

I have no trouble playing any other video just this one and I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

load the file into virtualdub or nandub, post any errors or prompts as well as the "file information."

Done get this message:

Couldnt locate decompressor for format "DX50" unknown.

VirtualDub requires of video for windows (VFW) compatible codec for decompress video. Directshow codec, such as those used by windows media player, are not suitable.

Thats the error message I got from trying to open it with VirtualDub.

Use wmp 6.4 for playback or gdivx.
Try installing divx 3.11 alpha

Tried GDiVX but it does the same thing no sound and no picture. I also have Alpha 3.11 codecs installed too. Dont really want to downgrade to WMP 6.4 since this is the only video I seem to be having problems with. Any other suggestions?

First uninstall the divx 5.02 codec, then try a codec pack such as TSUNAMI or NIMO. Also do a search on google.com for "dx50"

[Takabru]

Have TSUNAMI and Nimo codecs installed already - tried the searches on the net for DX50 to see any known bugs. My last resport was to post here for some more info hehe... no biggie at least its the only video that doesnt work.

Thanks for your help, if you have any other suggestions they will be greatly appreciated

[Batman]

Well, since this is your last resort, back up the file and try divfix.

[Takabru]

hehe what I pain this movie is being anyways tried divfix and rebuilt the index but it didnt work either. I still get no sound or picture. Gonna try for like the 50th time to download a file that will work. Any suggestions still appreciated.

Thanks for all the help so far.
