Hi, I have a .AVI file than has been encoded using the DVL codec. However, I can't seem to find this codec to install on my PC ? I have tried downloading the latest version of Koepi's XVID but the file still doesn't playback properly. When I play the file, the picture is fine but the sound is distorted - background sounds are just about okay, but the speech is unlistenable. Can anyone help (please) ? Thanks!
Ensure that you have the correct AC3 codec installed on your PC. This and other useful dloads can be found here: http://www.dvdrhelp.com/tools.htm
OKAY... I CUT AND PASTED THIS FROM SOMEBODY ELSES POST ON A DIFFERENT THREAD, BUT D@MN DID IT WORK FOR ME!!!!::::: : : """The One and ONLY Xvid/Divx FIX – for ALL your needs! For those that see green mushy screens, media player stops or crashes, or just don’t know why some avi files don’t play – it’s because they’re coded Xvid or Divx files and you need the right stuff in the right order. I don't know about everyone else's plan to fix all your codecs problems will work for everyone. You might want to try my fail-safe way I've listed below. Remember you HAVE to uninstall ALL the codecs you've tried to install in the past to make those movies play flawlessly! Otherwise you will have conflicts and this fix may not work. Ya know, when you’re good, you’re good. Thanks to my new friends AssPop and Equalizer for the praise they gave me on solving their little Xvid problem. I was so moved by the many obliges and thanx’s, that I set out to fix the annoying Xvid “crashing” problem that occurs on average of 1 to 3 times when playing a movie. And lo and behold, I figured out the solution. It wasn’t quite there in my face from the research I did on the internet, and all the solutions left by others strayed me off track, but I was able to manage what could quite possibly be the highest point of my life (so far this month). I figured out how to play a movie coded with Xvid and plagued with frozen frames and corrupted parts without the Windows (or any other) media player crashing or screen freezing. I know you are all gasping with your jaws open right now as I did when I saw the 7th minute of the Two Towers play on through the error at time 7:50. It was so beautiful to see Gollum er, uh Smeogal, get his boney ass kicked by the hobbits – uninterrupted! Oh, Happy Day! Let us all do the Dance of Joy! I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it! Okay, I’m not gay, let’s get that straight. Here’s the trick: 1. Uninstall the Nimo Codec Pack and any other codecs you have tried installing – get rid of them ALL! 2. Shut down your machine. 3. Restart the thing – duh. 4. Download the FFDSHOW 01-03-2003 alpha from http://www.dawnload.net/video_software/subtitle_tools/ffdshow.cfm or http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm or just do a search for “FFDSHOW Filter” and look for the one with the date 01-03-2003. 5. Now install the Nimo Codec Pack first, BUT make sure you uncheck the “Ffdshow DirectShow 2002-04-19” under “DirectShow Filters” and keep hitting “Next” until the install completes. 6. Now install the “FFDSHOW 01-03-2003” you have downloaded (it’s 9 months newer than the other one and you will see that makes all the difference). Just accept all the default settings and keep clicking “Next”. !Voila! You are done! No more crashing, just smooth sailing when watching your movies up for academy consideration. This latest Ffdshow plays Xvid and runs right on through the bad frames like a Moe’Fo. Spread the good news. Let me know what you guys think!""" THAT IS NOT THE WORK OF ME!!!! CUT AND PASTE BABY!!!!
