    Xvid - green & speckled video

    Hi I am an absolute noob with this.

    I have a Xvid movie ripped straight from a DVD and plays fine on another puter.

    I initially tried it on my PC and only audio would play.
    So I downloaded Nimo ver 5 build 8.
    I removed old Divx codecs and installed Nimo as directed.

    Then I tried again.
    The video is solid green with fixed, coloured speckles all over the top half.

    Please help!

    I have a Win98 PC running Windows Media Player ver 7.01
    Should I go to ver 9?

    cheers

    <b>UPDATE:</b> I've found this <a href="http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15755">similar post</a> and will try the suggestion there which is to download ffdshow20020607.exe

    <b>UPDATE2:</b> ffdshow20020607.exe is not at the suggested link although there is ffdshow20020606.exe and ffdshow20020617.exe

    I'll try 20020617 and see how it goes...

    You might want to give Koepi's plain vanilla decoder a try as well: http://www.roeder.goe.net/~koepi/

      Thanks!

      Thanks Enchanter

      While you were typing up your answer I tried the steps in my updated post. 20020617 seems to have done the trick. It lives!

      The video momentarily freezes for a split second every 30 seconds or so so I assume that is just a buffer issue in the player?

      Thanks for the extra suggestion - and so fast! This is a really informative site.

      cheers
