green screen

[Svon11]

Hy,

I have this problem with some movies that the screen is green and a friend of mine hasn't got the same problems as me and the strange thing is that he has got exactly the same codecs as me...
These codecs are (divx, xvid and the ones in nimo codec pack) but i guess the problem is caused by something else...
Does anyone know how to solve this because it's driving me crazy...???

thx

Try using FFDShow for decoding the XviD-compressed AVI files . . .

I know exactly what you mean...I recently lent a few movies to friend of mine and he had the same green screen except for one file that was encoded with DivX 5.02 codec... He has the nimo codec pack installed and he is running on W XP.. I trie to play the same files on my father laptop with the same codec pack and also on xp.. and they worked fine.. I still haven't found out what the prob is, but i think it has something to do with XP... by the way, i'm using win98 an it all worked fine for me

If anyone knows the answer to this topic... plz reply.. then i cn help him watch his movies... it's hard to watch with a green screen in ya face, but he still has audio!?! That's the weird part

A quick search with "Green" yields so many results.
For example, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Easy fix for Xvid Green Screen w/Blocks or Playing Well w/ no audio

Many people seem to be having this same problem as I once did:

Green screen in Windows Media Player with scattered weird blocks.

Often if you fix this problem you get no audio. Here is an easy way to have both high quality Xvid video and audio (wow! what a concept)

If you have Nimo codec pack installed, uninstall it completely, as well as any other divx/xvid codecs listed in Add/Remove programs. I am not saying Nimo is crap, but it screwed up my computer. I am sure there are very good codecs included in the pack, but it seems unstable.

Download and install the 3ivx codec from http://www.3ivx.com/download/index.html . I have found that their website is down sometimes, so if you get an error, just try them again a little while later.

Now you should have video.

If you still don't have audio go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/ac3filter/ , click on Download and download the exe version of the latest build (should be the top one). When you install this AC3 audio decoder, your audio should work.

Some files, however use Ogg Vorbis encoding for the audio, in that case install the Ogg decoder from http://www.divx-ac3.com/ .

At least all of this fixed it on my WinXP machine.

Also, if this message helps you fix the problem, please cut and paste this fix to every message board you know of where people are having this problem. Maybe we can put an end to it once and for all.
