Make sure you have the latest XviD codec, don’t just assume you do. The latest is 1.0.0 RC3.
Also VLC is a much better media player than zoomplayer.

Nimo Codec Pack :wink:

I can’t play it either. And nemo codec pack screwed up my XviD coded movies, they wouldnt play at all. Anyways, everything else i have plays fine except this one clip… i’ll wait till i actually need to look further into when full movies dont play before doing anything about it. Im sure it’s a very nice clip.

Download VLC from Bacon’s link above. It doesn’t use the normal Windows codec system, and plays pretty much everything (including unfinished AVIs).

XVID IS A COMMONLY USED CODEC

Put the obscure format avi inside of an .ace, then the .ace inside of a .rar to make it even more convenient next time…

As I said: I have the LATEST Xvid Codec (downloaded it just a week ago) yet the movie wont play.

Download video: 2.3 MB - wont play
Download Nimo: 7.6 MB - wont play
Upgrade to latest DivX: 3.2 MB - plays, but shows only garbage
Downloading VLC: 6.2 MB - finally it plays!
Summary: 19.3 MB downloaded - maybe you should have used a more common codec, the video would be some KB larger, but I guess alot smaller than 19.3 MB.
And a simple ET-demo would have used only some KB in size at all.

I think yall have to claim your expenses @ bani, he got you in so much trouble to watch that 15 second clip :smiley:

(duke'ku) #34

I don’t know why everyone bothers with odd codec packs, I haven’t come across a format VLC hasn’t played flawlessly, and it’s all in one package.

(senator) #35

Probably because EVERY player needs codecs to play back media files ??? :smiley:

Even VLC uses the Xvid codec to play Banis little video, my guess is that the vide file is corrupted (missing index probably?) and that VLC was only able to play the vid because it is designed to play streams who usually have no index.

Elementry my dear Watson… :]

VLC uses it’s own plugins instead of the normal codecs though, so problems you have in WMP (and most other players) doesn’t apply.
I just uninstalled XviD completely and was still able to play XviD movies in VLC. :clap:
(Then I installed the latest version of XviD, and still can’t play it in WMP. :banghead: And rebuilding the index didn’t help either.)

Here’s the complete list of formats that VLC supports ‘out of the box’:

Well, than thats a stupid solution because everytime somebody somwhere updates his codec the VLC progger have to make an update of their program, too… uh yes… :confused:

(Sauron|EFG) #39

I can play XviD RC2 movies with the VLC I installed in October last year.

Maybe stupid, but it works great.
