AVI files crash players

[freefae]

Hey!

Thanks for all your help in converting files, but now I found I have another problem. When I convert OR download any avi file, it crashes in winamp and windows media player, and shows up with off colors in nero and divx players. Avi files also crash my gspot codec identifier.

I am at my knees

What comes with various players, and the k-light codec pack. ;> Thank you for your help!

uninstall all codecs/codec packs through control panel-->add/remove programs.

download & install latest directx. make sure you have latest graphics card drivers.

what is needed regarding codecs/filters on any PC:

ffdshow - get it from http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net/tikiw...etting+ffdshow

nvidia purevideo codec (you can substitute windvd/powerdvd here) -for dvd's/mpeg-2 (i use dscaler instead, IMO it beats everything else)

real alternative - so you don't have to install 'realone player'

quicktime alternative - so you don't have to install quicktime

media player classic - extremely stable and fast media player. best player ever.

oggDS filter - directshow filter for ogm/ogg

windows media player 10 if you wish

play with 'media player classic'
