Problem With Certain XviD Playback

[J8son]

I have three different video files from there separate and distinct sources. All are encoded using XviD. However, I have run into issues with playback of files seemingly encoded with certain versions of XviD. Below I identified these with GSpot.

For Example:

Video File 1 is encoded with XviD ISO MPEG-4 and plays but seemingly has no audio.

Video File 2 is encoded with XviD 1.1.0 Final and plays great with no issues.

Video File 3 is encoded with XviD 1.1.0 Beta 2 and has no video but I can clearly hear the audio.

I have never actually installed a XviD codec on my computer but I have installed and have been running DivX Pro 6.8 for quite a while now and I was under the assumption it could also play all manner of XviD files.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi J8son,

Hi NT,

@ J8son ... NT is right ... WMP player tends to be a little fussy ... if you don't have all the correct Codecs installed it might give a little hard time.

So, as NT suggested downlaod the latest VLC and use that as you rprimary player for anything non Window clips ... you'll like it.
