I think that for some reason, the NIMO codecs cause a conflict with Xvid codecs developed by other codec developers, so my suggestion to you would be to uninstall the NIMO codecs, and just use the codecs developed by Nic and Koepi. I have Xvid files, and I'm playing them on Windows Media Player, and I haven't had a problem so far.

Dig this
Get rid of that NIMO pack...it seems to be giving everyone the flux! Install Divx codec 3.11 alpha and the Xvid codec from the link I posted above and play the file in WMP. It will help too if you do a WMP update, NOT a Windows Update. Update from the WMP Help drop-down menu.Comment

Okay...
I don't know, guys, but I didn't have NEARLY as many problems as you all seem to be having, so I'm gonna tell you EXACYLY what I did.
1) Opened WMP.
2)Went to the "Help" drop-down list and did an upgrade
3)Installed 3 codec.exe's; Divx codec 3.11 alpha.zip, XviD_Install, and XviD-04102002-1 (sorry, I can't remember where I found them, but I'm sure you all know how to find stuff: in a word, Google.)
4)Restarted my computer.
5)Played the file in WMP.
I noticed that many of you are having problems playing an XviD file, "8 Mile." Well I downloaded it last night, and it played magnificently.
Now here's some info that I at first thought wasn't important, but now I think it may be pertinent; I'm running Windows Me, WMP 7, and I don't have any other multimedia players on my system (unless you count MusicMatch and Winamp as multimedia.)Comment

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.
