Masi, I feel your ache-- I used to get a crash from only sure Xvid-encoded avis, but not all of them. I have been utilizing the K-Lite bundled Media Player Classic., and I haven't but had a problem with it.

My Gameshark Media Player additionally has that bother. Does anyone else find that it generally hangs when viewing Xvids? My answer right now is to re-encode to Divx using Virtual Dub, and I might like an answer that isn't a super-huge PITA.posted by Mayor Curley at 9:15 AM on July 25, 2004

My shoppers laptop computer did that too. Reinstall your video card drivers, reinstall Direct X 9.0b. (Yeah, your card might not want it but certain commands out of your video player use it)posted by Keyser Soze at 12:38 PM on July 25, 2004

Also download ffdshow-20040718.exe . ffdshow: video decoder that supports Xvid, Divx, and so on. but is far more efficient. No loss of high quality, and performs back smoother than any standard codec.posted by Keyser Soze at 12:Forty PM on July 25, 2004

Another factor: Reinstall kazaa lite codec pack first, and at the underside declick "disable ffdshow filter", then set up the ffdshow filter.posted by Keyser Soze at 1:12 PM on July 25, 2004

ffdshow was additionally my suggestion, although I may need urged one of many older builds first (like the one on sourcefourge). The newer ones have been eating more CPU for me.posted by stavrosthewonderchicken at 4:39 PM on July 25, 2004
