    Still having xvid viewing problem...

    I have read all of the other threads and have uninstalled all of my codecs, just reinstalled xvid, reinstalled other codecs and no matter what I install or uninstall, I still get a blurry green mess and blocks whenever I view and video encoded with xvid. I have also gone through my explorer and deleted any files associated with codecs. Are there any other suggestions for what I can do to correct this problem.

    Instead of getting separate codecs (which i assume is what you got) get a codec pack - preferably NimoCodec Pack or Tsunami codec pack. Both work fine and should resolve your issues.

      possible solution

      I had the same problem and I found that if I uninstall all codecs and install xvid first and then run the film the picture is sweet. if I put nimo codec back on it's back to green and blocky. Works fine combined with divx 5.02 though.

          i'm familiar with the xvid playback problem (green blurry mess) and the solution to this is very simple:

          just download and install the ffdshow filter from SourceForge:
          Free, secure and fast downloads from the largest Open Source applications and software directory - SourceForge.net


          the latest file is called: ffdshow-20020617.exe

          keep your xvid and nimo codec pack installed! just add the ffdshow filter on top.

          cheers! divxbloom

              Man you guys are the best. I,ve been for a few days untill I found this site. The nimo pack and ffdshow filter did the trick. I am now that I can watch the downloaded movies. Thanks again.

                i consider TSUNAMIs filterpack 396 the BEST CHOICE

                not only because it already includes ffdshow (among all other major filters)

                  Nimo's codec pack contains the ffdshow filter just not the latest version.
