Help with Xvid Codec!!

[bolido2000]

I got some japanese movies from my cousin and I only get sound but not video when I play them. I think they are encoded with Xvid so I downloaded and installed the xvid codecs but I still have the same problem! This is the first time I get a problem like this. What do I need to play the video??

i have an xvid video that plays very choppy, even when i download ffdshow

very annoying

gspot

it's software...although it's prolly good advice for most guys here otherwise.

i have GSpot as well and it says the file is fine with the proper codecs installed
