when I open the file I'v got a green screen. the sound is ok. but I'v no picture.
Lots of movies work fine but just two of them couse trouble.
I have divx 5.02 pro. angelpotion and xvid installed on the pc. I tried to cheange the fourCC from divx to div3 but it doesn't worked. what is the problem with this two files. they work on other PC's what should I do with them. I tried also the 3.11 version codec but it doesn't worked.

for more details on the codec, you could use gspot or load the file into nandub and go to file => file information

Green screen with XVid

I get the same green screen in MS Media player.
In BSPlay, the picture is mirrored horizontaly and vertically...

Checking the content of the avi, it shows "xvid" in the first bytes.

I don't know how or why... I've the xvid codec installed...

Can someone help ?

i have the same problem before...
it's probably u have use the wrong XviD codec to decode the movie, install both Koepi's and Nic's XviD codes, and use ffdshow to define the codec u want to use

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.

well, the problem that i have is similar..
i take the avi files from my digital camera and 3-4 days ago i could play them normally on the windows media player, but now all i see is a green screen!!
the sound though is ok...
i tried everything everybody suggested on this forum, but nothing at all!!
PLEASE help!!!

[UncasMS]

instead of 3ivx i'd rather install FFDSHOW for any kind of playback

[SKD_Tech]

FFDShow is much more customizeable
