    Video Data: FOURCC code "XVID"

    I have every codec I can imagine installed. Yet, when trying to run it in any player, I always got a video error and the player telling me that I don't have the right codec. Please tell me what I need to install so I can have Video Data: FOURCC code "XVID" working.

    An XVID codec or the FFD Show Filter (the filter is for playback only)...

      Download and install FFDShow. Configure it to handle XviD contents (and DivX, if you wish). Don't forget to enable Post-processing as well.

      By the way, it is called FFDShow, not FFD Show...

        It may be false, but I've noticed that 3ivx videos have the same fourCC code that Xvid..and I can say that the 3ivx codec (that is not installed on my pc ) can't render Xvid files.
        So: always install codecs you only need.

          How do you configure FFDShow?

            So how do we actually use it? I don't see any instructions, and looking at all the cool features of the configuration screen gets boring after a while.

            How do we actually use FFDShow to play these movies?

            Thanks!

              Go to FFDShow Configuration -> Codecs and enable the FourCC types you want FFDShow to handle.

              Regards.

                I figured that part!

                so now do we just start up a normal video player? there appears to be no method of playing videos from FFDShow (which I am beginning to think was not meant to actually play the videos directly.)

                using ffdshow-20030523.

                  Yes.

                  You got that correct too.
