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

Masi, I really feel your ache-- I used to get a crash from solely certain Xvid-encoded avis, but not all of them. I've been using the K-Lite bundled Media Player Classic., and I have not but had an issue with it.

My Gameshark Media Player also has that trouble. Does anybody else find that it generally hangs when viewing Xvids? My resolution proper now could be to re-encode to Divx using Virtual Dub, and I might like a solution that isn't a super-huge PITA.posted by Mayor Curley at 9:15 AM on July 25, 2004

My clients laptop did that too. Reinstall your video card drivers, reinstall Direct X 9.0b. (Yeah, your card could not need it but sure commands from 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 way more efficient. No loss of high quality, and performs back smoother than any commonplace codec.posted by Keyser Soze at 12:Forty PM on July 25, 2004

Another factor: Reinstall kazaa lite codec pack first, and at the bottom 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, although I may need instructed one of many older builds first (just like the one on sourcefourge). The newer ones have been consuming more CPU for me.posted by stavrosthewonderchicken at 4:39 PM on July 25, 2004
