Playback in Media Player

[Muzz_05]

I just produced a DivX using FlaskMPEG and the 3.11 codec (using XP) according to the guide provided by Nicky. But when I try and play it in Media Player (8.00.00.4477) the audio plays but no picture....it plays fine in Vidomi and The Playa. Other DivX's I have play fine on media player, why not this one I encoded myself?

I noticed when it's playing and I click on properties it says:
VIDEO CODEC: Unknown

Whereas, other DivX's say:
VIDEO CODEC: DivX Decoder Filter

Is this part of the problem? If so, how do I make Media PLayer recognise my file?

Cheers, Muzz

"DivX Decoder Filter"

This simply means that the other videos are being decoded by either the DivX4 or 5 codec, that you must have installed in the system as well.

Try playing your video in WMP6.4 instead. You can find it in the folder x:\Program Files\Windows Media Player. WMP6.4 has a file name of mplayer2.exe.

Hi guys!

I'm a new fan of DVD ripping and encoding.
I've registered a very similar problem as Muzz: I completed the encoding using Xmpeg 4.5 and DivX 4.12 codec, extraing only video flow and encoding audio flow by other tools like ac3 tool and BeSweet.

When I try to watch the movie on Media Player v.7.01, the video starts right for first 3/4 seconds, but after that it stops for 30 (but also one minute sometimes!) and then it restarts playing right for other 3/4/6 seconds, and so goes on....
The problem accurs also using PowerDVD...

But when I open the file.avi by Mplayer.exe (path: C:\windows\Mplayer.exe) the movie can be wathced without any problem: the video flow is very right!!!

Please, Can you simply expain me why it happen???
What can I do in order to play normally my movie by mPlayer and PowerDVD???
My PC: Pentium3 800 Mhz, 128 MB ram, OS windows 98 SE.
Thank you very much for your attention, and please, forgive my english (it's so rusty!!!) and try to be simple.

See you!
Bye! caspit
