Divx and Windows Media Player problems

Many of my divx movies that I downloaded won't play in windows media player. When it loads up, the only thing that happens is some ambience picture comes up with like 16 hours of music or something. The movie isn't corrupted, since I can play it in another program, gDivx. I am just wondering if there is a fix for windows media player, since it is the default player, and I don't want to have to change the default. The strange thing is that this problem doesn't happen with every movie that I have, and I have also downloaded the latest divx codec from divxcodec.com and the problem still happens. Input is welcome!!
 
it could be the version. if the movie is made with the divx 3.1 patch, having the 4.0 patch wont help you. they are made from different people, the 3.1 is a crack of a windows codec, and the 4.0 is a legit version. goto doom9.org and to their forums, they are divx experts there
 
Also be aware that there is a new DivX codec out. Version 5 has been released recently and I have seen a number of movies in that format already. That could explain part of your problem.
