Problems with Xvid

[amoun]

I'm sure poeple will think this is a recuring theme, but I have no clue what to do.

I've installed the most recetn xivd binaries that I found at doom9.org.

Yet when I play xvid encoded files, all I get is a black screen. Sound is fine.
I've tried many players: Divx player, WinDVD, PowerDVD, Winamp, MediaSource, WMP 10, WMP classic.

all of wich have the same black sreen with sound fine. Expect for either version of WMP.

Now I've tried using programs like TFO codec finder 5. It says xvid is not installed on my pc... how is that possible if the video plays in WMP?

I know that some of the other players I've tried have their own divx, xvid, and mpg decoders.. could it a decoder conflict?

I'd welcome any input on this, thx

Try uninstalling xvid and installing ffdshow. Get the latest alpha version.

Have you tried using VLC? That player seems to play everything...:thumbsup:

It it's just a black screen, it could be that your video card settings are setup so that the main screen is another moniter.

This is assuming your video card supports dual monitors and you have them setup to clone each other.

Do you have problems with xvid only or does this happen with every codec. Couse if it's xvid only then the grafic card is not an issue. Try reinstalling the codecs.
