Green / Pink = Literally NOTHING works. Any idea's?

[SpiXe]

While playing back avi files (usually xvid encoded) it displays pink and green lines overlapping the imagine, as if the image were being played twice over each other, one in pink, one in green, with horizontal lines interlacing. I know that's odd, but try to work with me. I've searched this forum, and tons of others on the web for several hours today and yesterday, installing codec after codec, with no avail. These are all the codecs I've tried ...
-Nimo Codec Pack (I know know that it's bad for the system)
-3ivx_d4_45
-divx_311alpha
-ffdshow-20031128 (newest build I believe)
-XviD-1.0-Beta3-26122003
-XviD-Dec
-DivX Total Pack
-xvid core 1.1.0
-MPeg43 Decoder DMO
-DivX 5.01. 5.50, and 5.11
-vidomi xvid/divx codecs
-angelpotionv1-575
-Intel Indeo IR3*, IV4*, and IV5*
-Various other mpeg4 codecs
As well as numerous others that are budled up within things like the nimo and divx pack. I've spent at least 7 or 8 hours having only certain ones installed, uninstalling some, installing others, mixing and matching, etc. There are also a ton of avi files I have to choose from because of the network I'm on, so it's not the avi encoding. I've tried numerous players
-Windows Media Player 6.4
-Media Player Classic
-Vidomi Divx Player
-BSPlayer
-Divx Pro Player
WMP and WPC always have the pink and blue. However, occassional (with God knows what mix of codecs) Vidomi and divx pro player might create a solic image, but I'm on a pretty slow computer and they eat up so much memory that it creates choppy playback. BSPlayer gets closer with smoother running, but it also creates alot of other problems like double screen (the top if looks fine, but the bottom is still pink/green), and I see nothing if I go to full screen. I've tried playing with a ton of options on all of these players, messing with things like turning off yv12, overlay, switching to rgb, etc etc (not that I really know what any of these do). As for as the computer is concerned, I have the proper codecs, because in general it can play them, just not pretty looking. Gspot also says I have all the correct codecs to play the video and fuond no problem. Using AVI4CC to switch the codec for avi's work (to a point) but only on divx encodes, not xvid.
So far I haven't seen a post that has a fix for this problem (on the several dozen I've sifted through at least). Does anyone think they can pinpoint it? Any help would be unexpressibly appreciated.

when using ffdshow, did you set it to libavcodec for all supported formats??

Still no luck

Ok, the codec collection has been grossly enlarged, and still to no avail. I've read tons of forums and no one seems to be able to figure out the problem. Of course I've tried all the codecs one by one, combined, etc, and played with different codec option (of course not truly knowing what I was doing) and I still get the lines. Oddly enough, the only time the xvid's have ever looked right, was on the vivomi player, but it was so bogged down and slow on my computer that it was worthless to watch. Please help, any suggestions???

Well, there was not exactly an "all supported formats" box, but I did check every box, try each box one by one, etc. Still nothing.

maybe you could try this up2date ffdshow version: http://www.ligh.de/software/ffdshow/...w-20040319.exe

Close but no cigar

Hi, Thanks for the tip.

But regretfully that didn't work either, same thing. After more and more searching, trying just about everything, I came across a recent post recommending the poster try the new RC3 build (XviD-1.0-RC3-29022004.exe). So, finally, after trying about 60 different codec and codec combinations, that's all it needed. Nothing else worked except that.

However now theres another problem. The video is slow. Sometimes extremely slow, sometimes just a hair, but eventually that hair gets pretty severe when the audio is normal pace. So audio is normal, but video is slow. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
