A small annoyance...When I play xvid movies in any of my players (WMP9, BS Player or VideoLan), they always freeze my computer. After I restart the computer, I can play them fine in the players mentioned. I have the latest Kazaa lite codec pack and the latest Kazaa Lite version.
Also just to make sure I have all the proper codecs, I run the xvid movies through GSpot.

Yes I did install Divx antifreeze.
I'm curious as to why I can play these xvid movies after I restart the computer.

What are your specs like? do u tri and run a few apps while watching the movie?

If still no go u could give ffshow or somthing,a filter designed for xvid or change the 4cc code of the movie from xvid to divx.

FFDSHOW seems to clear up a lot problems.

Thanks for pointing that out. My image host is now limiting views to 5 MB per day.

try to decode videos using 3ivx included in the k-lite codec pack.

3ivx is a very fast directshow decoder, and it decodes xvid even faster than the xvid decoder itself.

for me, it works like a charm.

Thank you all for the suggestions.
Will try them all and report back.
