hi everyone.

i ve got different XviD avis from different sources. on my pc there re many codecs so i think there is a problem with them.
when i open one of them with some players the screen is only green or nothing happens. with da BSplayer there was da error massage:

BSPlayer v1.00.807, Unhandled exception at EIP: 0201572B

some people say (and I am one of them): don't use codec packs !
or at least be aware of what you're doing...
(adicoto's list of individual codecs)

looks like you didn't know you had ffdshow installed...
ffdshow takes care of decoding divx, xvid etc...
ffdshow in itself is great, but you may have an old version... xvid has evolved
you'll find recent versions of ffdshow on http://dvd.box.sk
if you prefer to use xvid instead of ffdshow, access ffdshow config, codecs tab and uncheck 'xvid'
to access ffdshow config, either play a file and right-click the 'FF' icon in the systray, or create a shortcut with target:

rundll32.exe ffdshow.ax,configure

note: if the ffdshow.ax file isn't in your windows\system32 directory, you need to put the full path to that file in the shortcut target
