What Other Video Codecs other than DIVX do I need?

[Kenji4861]

I have a fresh Windows XP, installed Divx 5 Codec, but I still can't view some movies. What other codecs should I download?

smr, tmd and hbo.

XVID iS supposed to be good....

Nimo codec.

It's not really a codec, it's a compilation of many codecs.

Xvid is one you will need. There are plenty of other codecs, the Nimo Codec Pack has many of them pulled together in a nice package.

If you play Noone Lives Forever 2, be careful with Nimo. It seems to be causing audio issues for some people.

Don't use Nimo it has some major bugs in it like crashing media player when trying to play certain kind of movies. I recommend using Ace Mega Codec pack it's more robust and has Zoom Player included.

It will depend on the video type being played. I have a couple of video clips that will not play in XP because they were made with Microsoft's original MPEG4 codec which they no longer support. I have not found a fix for those. I just keep a 98 machine around for videos because it plays everything with WMP 6.4.

I got a few videos that audio is present but doesnt play.. video plays fine..

I assume audio is present.. I have to install premiere to see if the audio track is present but I assume it is.
