    xvid crashes

    Hi, I have recently downloaded some videos encoded with xvid that I can't play. When trying to play the file in WMP9, it crashes with an access violation (memory could not be "read"). I tried the following combinations

    Nimo Codec
    Nimo Codec and regsvr32 /u ffdshow.ax
    Nimo and ffdshow
    just ffdshow (uninstalled Nimo)
    3ivx

    When I completely uninstalled Nimo and ffdshow, installed 3ivx and restarted, the video played for about 20 minutes and then crashed with the "memory could not be read" thing again, and now crashes each time I try to play the video. I have tried other players like Media Player Classic, NVDVD, zoomplayer, but these either stall, crash, or show static with the correct audio.

    I tried GSPOT, which says that the video is xvid, and reports that
    3 compatible codecs are installed:
    XviD MPEG-4 Codec
    XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder
    3ivx D4 Video Decoder

    When I try to render with Directshow in GSPOT it reports that the rendering was successful using XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder.

    System Info:
    WinXP SP1
    geforce fx with forceware 52.16 drivers

    Thanks.
