Hi,
I have been having trouble recently playing divx's, I have mainly been using media player, but have also tried the bundled player with the 5.02 codec. Media player keeps trying to download a decompressor but not finding one, and the bundled player just won't load the file at all. I tried to load up the file in virtualdub as has been suggested in previous posts, and got the following error message:
--------------------------------------
Couldn't locate decompressor format 'XVID' (unknown)
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable.
--------------------------------------
I have installed both the 5.02 and 3.11a codecs
Any ideas?
Cheers,
MrT
