Topic: Please Read Before Posting Playback Errors

[DeadAlready911]

 On the suggestion of one of our members, I am posting the link to most current release of Xvid.  Our encoder(s) are now using Xvid for most of L-E releases.   Please upgrade before going crazy in a post, thanks.

Whoops

well i found the resolution to the codec problem, if you downloaded the codec above and are still experiencing playback problems such as the video getting blocky then download and install this as well

Hi, I've been trying to watch Kyou Kara Maou, but all I get is "failed to open file..." I downloaded the codec, but...nothing. Help?

[greenkabbage]

Cinder, I hope you also installed the codec...
other than that I suggest trying to use media player classic,
much nicer than media player 7,8, or 9.

Thanks for the reply: it turned out that the problem was with my DirectX. After a couple hours of frustration and re-installation of the Divx player and DirectX, everything turned out peachkeen. Thanks for the support. =)

/me makes a mental note: ask user what windows they are using and direct them to install latest directx besides latest codecs

Okay, I'm probably just totally stupid, but I can't get any of the first 5 episodes of Rose of Versailles to play. Windows Media player just gives me a stupid "cannot play the file" error, and doesn't do anything. DivX player will play the title screen for a full second, but then the pictures breaks up into meaningless colored bars, with an occasional recognizable image rising up out of the chaos.

I upgraded from Media Player 9 to Media Player 10. I installed the Xvid codec. I installed ffdshow. I restarted many times. My DirectX is up to date. (9.0c) All this, and I'm even running XP for crissakes! What else could possibly be wrong?

Actually, it almost seems to me like my video players don't even recognize that new codecs have been installed. Do you have to change anything in their properties to make them recognize new codecs?

Any assistance is appreciated. This Xvid junk is complicated.

Try using a different player. I reccomend BSPlayer

I need help... I am trying to watch Tsubasa Chronicles and at first it would stick at the opening and windows media player 9 would say it had to close. I then installed the ffdshow thingy. It helped a little as in it plays but sticks evry few seconds and then fast fowards to where it is supposed to be. I have the latest directxbut have no clue what the problem is.
Also i have tried BSPlayer with no luck...
PLEASE help me.

I use K-Lite Codec Pack,  I Have never had any problems with it.
And if you install it you can watch your movies on any player. 

If you want to download it here is the link:
