Go here and go through the guide and get all the files and use the Zoom player for playing back the video - http://www.inmatrix.com/articles/mediasetup.shtml

Hope this helps ...

Score! thanx mate, it's working!!!! gonna try and delet that mmswitch thingy, and try wmp

[sleekmods]

and that worked, but it seems i get better quality in zoom i think so i'll stick with it !

o and yeah, i almost forgot,... if u dont wanna follow that thing and download loads of programs browse to c:\windows\system\mmswitch.dll and delete it, or just move it to your desktop for teh time being if you dont wanna delete it, that should make it work ing windows media player

Glad to have been able to help you ...

I know what you are talking about man - that installing part was a bitch, I know what you are saying. However, it is worth it in the end when you finally get to watch all your cool movies ...

You might wanna try going here, too http://www.roeder.goe.net/~koepi/xvid.shtml It worked for me, and I'm running WMP 7. Download it, click it, open WMP, enjoy!
