xVID?

[Spooner]

I think I have some movie using the xVID codec. So I install it, now it plays EXTREMELY choppy and without sound.

Something else I need to do?
xVID

Uninstall it and use FFDshow

You dont need xvid or divx codec if you use this.

 

[Spooner]

is that a player or a codec?

 

[Spooner]

how do i uninstall divx and xvid ?

i see where divx is, but xvid isn't in add/remove proggies

 

[ClueLis]

codec

 

[Spooner]

do i have to uninstall before i get ffdshow?

 

[SSP]

You dont have to. I have xvid and ffdshow, but i'm not sure which codec is being used when i play a xvid. Just go ahead and install ffdshow and check the setting to make sure its the one doing the work.

oh btw, i dont know about xvid, but the cock suckers who made divx dont know how to make a proper uninstall. I had to delete the folder and remove anything divx from the registry cause the uninstall failed.

 

[Spooner]

installed it and the same thing is happening

when i go to open it, it like totally lags my machine too

I can't get xVid movies to work either. Mine are all green and choppy.

 

[Spooner]

not fair!!! i really want to watch this!

help!

Try uninstalling it then. Manually if you have to.

Uninstall it if you can, it should be under Add/Remove Programs (not sure why yours isn't). Then download this. Probably no different, but its the build I use and I know it works. Also, try dloading an AC3 filter, not sure if that will do anything but I think you need it on some things (not sure if it is this or something else, so maybe someone will come in and correct me hear in a sec).

 

[wfbberzerker]

just find a different pr0no.

 

[Spooner]

okay, getting closer....... the AC3 filter allows me to hear audio now, but the damn thing is still extremely choppy

 

[b0red]

you have to uninstall xvid/divx codec before installing ffdshow.

 

[Spooner]

i'm getting this error now when trying to install FFDShow:

"Unable to open the file for writing: ffdshow.ax"

the hell?
