Movie Playback

[Rabid_elephant]

is it bad to have more than 1 compatable codec to play a movie? for some reason my movies havnt been as clear as they use to be. Ive instaled a few codec programs (nimo and kl codec pack) both i uninstaled and got the new version of klite codec. 2.04 or something like that. But i used gspot for instance on bringing down the house and it said i had 2 codecs to play the video (xvid video decoder and xvid codec) also 3 for audio. could this be why im getting diminished video playback?

is it quality of previous files that is affected?or is it possible its just the new ones arent as good quality ie tmd instead of ctp ?

ok so ive found out the problem. New movies (xvid) play fine. But older prexvid movies skip badly. This happend with a number of other pre xvid movies ive downloaded. American history x, xmen 1, dont be a menace in south central, Ginger snaps etc. What could be the problem?
