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.

cheers

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. =)

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

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.
