use FFdshow? or Xvid?

PS wrong forum to ask this question

getfresh · 2004-01-14, 14:32

you can also try the latest xvid codec http://www.xvid.org/
but most likely it's ffdshow thats causing the prob as Thelastguardian brought up. 9 times out of 10 in my exp with people having playback issues its due to not having ffdshow. If you require any codecs I can send them to you via irc. Good luck!

My guess is nimo and K++ have faulty, old codecs. It would be best to get rid of both, heck even get rid of divx and use ffdshow instead. It's not like you're gonna be using Virtualdub that much anyways

Through much trial and error, tested upon countless newbies (who don't know how to read the "sticky" important threads) we have found a simple and quick solution that will fix at least 98% of all problems that we see. I expect it will work on your problem as well.

Uninstall all your codecs. Trust me. All of them:
Uninstall DivX.
Uninstall XviD.
Uninstall ffdshow.
Especially uninstall any Codec packs, They are Evil!

Download and install ffdshow. You'll find it listed as [Level 1] on the Media Configuration Guide.

On behalf of all the newbies who didnt read the sticky threads, I thank you.

I was trying to watch Popotan yesterday and it was a mess of warping, bleeding colors and some blockiness. I will do what you suggest when I get home from work today.

That's why you got a video playback error.. most probably.
