It really works advantageous for me in WMP 9, additionally works tremendous in Media Player Classic.posted by riffola at 8:Forty four AM on July 25, 2004

Masi, I really feel your pain-- I used to get a crash from only certain Xvid-encoded avis, however not all of them. I have been utilizing the K-Lite bundled Media Player Classic., and I haven't yet had an issue with it.

My Gameshark Media Player additionally has that trouble. Does anyone else discover that it generally hangs when viewing Xvids? My solution proper now's to re-encode to Divx using Virtual Dub, and I'd like a solution that isn't an excellent-large PITA.posted by Mayor Curley at 9:15 AM on July 25, 2004

My shoppers laptop did that too. Reinstall your video card drivers, reinstall Direct X 9.0b. (Yeah, your card might not want it but sure commands out of your video participant use it)posted by Keyser Soze at 12:38 PM on July 25, 2004

Also obtain ffdshow-20040718.exe . ffdshow: video decoder that helps Xvid, Divx, etc. but is far more environment friendly. No lack of high quality, and plays again smoother than any normal codec.posted by Keyser Soze at 12:Forty PM on July 25, 2004

Yet one more thing: Reinstall kazaa lite codec pack first, and at the underside declick "disable ffdshow filter", then install the ffdshow filter.posted by Keyser Soze at 1:12 PM on July 25, 2004

ffdshow was additionally my suggestion, though I might need urged one of many older builds first (just like the one on sourcefourge). The newer ones have been eating extra CPU for me.posted by stavrosthewonderchicken at 4:39 PM on July 25, 2004
