XViD playing problem!!!!

[ABAB]

Hello again.
I have an XviD file that only plays in WMP with extreme blockiness. Not sure what details I need to give you but is there a way I can get rid of this problem?, is it a codec issue?. The file in question (8 legged freaks) seems to be OK on other machines cos' I've asked.
I have V Dub and TMPG Enc' installed.
I know you will need more details so please don't shout at me
I eventually want to encode this file to play on my standalone.
Thx

Try this codec.

I tried installing but got an error. 'Cant write/Windows/system/XviDdll'

Doh!. Should I be able to install a codec and that would enable me to play the file properly?.

Thx for reply

[ABAB]

I got it installed now, What do I do with this codec?.

Nothing.......just play your XviD file to see if you're still having the same problem.

[ABAB]

I'm afraid I am. I notice that If I load it into V Dub it appears fine!. Any thoughts?.

Thx

OK, sorry for the delay in getting back to you all, Xmas an' all.
I tried everything suggested and no luck. That codec from you tenders, I thought was going to do it but WMP eventually gave up trying to open it. I then had trouble playing some other movies so I had to un-install it.
I've since D/L'd another XviD movie as an experiment and am having the same problems.

Is there anything else to try??

Wahay :P

I D/L'd this

Hope this helps everyone else who has had this problem
