how can i force the divx 5.0.5 codec to play xvid encoded files by default?
when i play xvid movies, the video gets too slow, no matter what i do (i an old machine - PII-350, 160 Mb ram, win2k).
copying the file from the cd to the hd and changing its fourcc code from xvid to divx solves my problem, since the divx 5.x codec is able to decode xvid movies, and this way my playback is ok.
i don't want to copy the xvid files from the cd to the hd everytime i want to watch them, and it would be expensive and time consuming to burn them to a cd again with the fourcc code changed.
i tried to rename some .dll and .ax files with no success. tried to change some registry settings also, but again, with no success.
so, how can i make divx codec to decode xvid files automatically?
thanks for the help.
