Hey, I recently tried to view a movie I was told was encoded using XviD. As I have the latest XviD installed, I assumed it would work fine. When I attempted playback in BSPlayer and WMP 8, both failed...and BSPlayer gave me:
"An Unknown Format (DX50)"
I then proceeded to place the file in GSpot which told me I had all compatible codecs installed, (which I thought I did) but then also told me it was actually encoded in DivX 5! I thought then it was a problem with ffdshow, so I uninstalled it, still same error, still same results in GSpot. I then downloaded a newer version of ffdshow, installed it, and exact same results in BSPlayer and GSpot. I can't understand why GSpot tells me I have the correct codecs installed, yet playback fails. As a last resort, I tried it in AVIPreview...I had sound but no video...
Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance to those who reply
