Xvid is an under-contruction video codec that seems to be getting used more and more. I originally posted this in the problems forum because i downloaded eight legged freaks (2002).XviD.DVL.Sharereactor.avi and kept getting blurry colours all over the screen. I had nimo 5.8 installed and i then installed Xvid, but it didnt work. After much research, I finally found this post on an Xvid forum which solved the problem nicely. I'm posting this here in the hope that other people wont have to go through what i did ....
i had the same problem with blurred green blocks and stuff. I found that Goldmember wouldn't play but scorpian king would!. I think there may be a conflict in the nimo pack 8 as i also had problems with a band down the right hand side of my videos when i was playing compatable movies as well, so this is what i did:
I uninstalled nimo 8. You will also need to do a search for any files containing divx or xvid on your comp and delete those as well as sometimes they stay in your registry. For any of yous that were puzzled as to why you can still play the divx files after uninstalling this is why!(click start and find files and folders etc.). You may need to restart your comp b4 doing this otherwise you may get sharing violations etc.
I betta say this now: i dont know if this will work for those that make their own movies cos i only watch them .
Next i downloaded and installed nimo 7. I did the BASIC install and added a few things. this is what i had checked in the setup menu:
divx 5.01 codec, microsoft mpeg4, 3ivx 3.5 codec, avi synth 1.05 max, divx audio, fran. mpeg layer 3 codec, vobsub 2.12/ dierctsub vob2.12, ogg vorbis, divx antifreeze, ac3 audiodecoder, morgan stream switcher, divx player (some movies need it), help files.
I then installed the latest xvid codec seperately (which i downloaded). I know this is a hassle having to install different codecs but hopefully it will solve your problems. This leaves the xvid to do, well xvid and the nimo pack to do everything else.
This worked for me and i no longer have those bands on the side of my screen and those blurred images when playing austin powers.
hope this helps
Groovy Baby!
