Xvid codec - were from?

[+dave164 Subscriber¹]

Does anyone know were i can get the xvid codec from. I think that is the reason why my film isn't playing.

It has been put together as (name).Xvid-done.1

So i think its the xvid codec i am missing as divx doesn't play it and PowerDVD and WMP play it but without sound.

Other avi's and .vob files play with sound but this xvid one doesn't.

Also can i have a guide on how to install the codec if it doesn't come in an exe!

i installed divx 3.11 Alpha and that Xvid codec and nothing has happened...

This is the error message!

Screenie:

you can't use Divx player to play Xvid files. That's silly. (seeing that you installed divx 3.11, the player that comes with it doesn't support xvid)

Install the latest Divx 5.21, it comes with an updated player that can play both Divx and Xvid formats. Remember to remove xvid, to avoid any conflicts.

uhm it might be because the xvid is encoded with some other audio codecs that you dont have. Most are encoded with AC3 *cough* downloaded movie.

Use Gspot to detect what are the codecs you need to play the file. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

That would've been my suggestion, as well.

Additionally, check out VideoToolbox (or VideoInspector.)

I'd recommend installing the latest build of ffdshow (a post-processing filter containing codecs).

Get the SLD codec pack, its contained in a self installer and will allow any player on your computer to play Xvid and all other sorts of video files. <<Snipped>>

VLC, is good but the way it decodes video is flawed and on allot of .mpeg's it messes up on the left of the screen (I have seen this with many SVCD Mpeg videos) SLD codec is best thing to use, since it can be used with any player on your computer be it winamp WMP or even the Divx player.

Thanks everyone its working now, but its a bit jutery, low FPS probably any way too fix this :p

The SLDCodec pack did the job :D

thanks again

if its jittery it could be 3 things

1, The file was encoded a bit rubbish.

2, You have not restarted after installing the SLD codec.

3, Old codecs are conflicting with the SLD codec.

I think its the first 2 so reboot then try it, if it dont work get a small xvid encoded file.

much better now.

another thing after i installed that....

Windows Media Player 10 doesn't work anymore... any solutions?

The WMP2 that comes with it does but thats it...

Only a noobie would install that pack of crap. I might suggest learning a bit before trying to suggest the "best" thing to use. You have a long way to go.

[+dave164 Subscriber¹]

Well it worked for me.. plays it on WinDVD but DivX now plays it without no sound (so i uninstalled it) and WMP10 now dont work with any audio files....

[cal2002]

right, because you just installed loads of old, pirated, and hacked codec's! Not a smart thing to do when trying to get something to work. It doesn't work, becuase it broke something else.

[+dave164 Subscriber¹]

Well do u have any solutions

\/ lovin' ur sig now

[cal2002]

Main suggestion: format and reinstall. You will never get all of the crap off no matter what,

Second suggestion: Unregister all the decoder that crap installed. then re-registered and default Windows decoders. Reinstall any app that installed dshow decoders. Then install just what you need from the developer of the codec (not some lame third party site)

[+dave164 Subscriber¹]

Or i could just reinstall WMP10 and it would work...

*cough*

Ah well it dont matter.. it worked and ive installed Winamp now and it works for audio.. which is fine.. and its much more compact then WMP10

[cal2002]

WMP 10 has nothing to do with that mound of dshow codec's you just installed. I can tell you that for a fact. Not a single thing. The install process doesn't do anything with dshow IIRC.

[Vice]

Cal2002 no need to-be such a tw&t man. I was just trying to help him out. And I'm no noob gosh your such a loser.

Just re-install WMP10 I don't think the new beta SLD codecs have been tested with WMP10 yet sorry for my mistake, when you re-install WMP10 it will say copy over file <blah insert random filename here blah>? just select yes to everything.

[cal2002]

directshow is directshow. That did not change from WMP 9 to WMP 10. And no, the install process for WMP 10 will not touch a single DirectShow decoder, why it would touch third party stuff, i'm not sure why anyone would think that.

All codec packs are pure crap and only a pure noob would install them, the rest of the people are a step above and know that they are all crap. Also, the setup for WMP will not prompt you for anything (unless you screwed your system over by deleting other files, not codec's)

Trying to help is different then suggesting people install pure crap that's pirated (against the rules here, BTW) and that will screw over parts of your system. :\

Yer well since i sit on the development team for SLD no no wait I DONT im just someone who used it liked it, it worked. i don't know if its pirated just it works well for me god sake man u are a total dick.

Just get Video lan player or something. some people just cant be nice.
