CODECS Galore!!!!!?!?!?!?

[Trunks4191]

Hey when i first started this movie downloading/VCD thing about a year ago, i used Angel Potion codec to watch my Avi files. Unfortunatly i had that little distortion in color(turns red), but over all i was content. Then i found out about the Nimo codec. I uninstalled my old Angel potion and installed that, and i found that i was able to watch more moviesthat utilized it. Now the Xvic Codec is out. And i am alittle confused, With whether this codec is the going to be the Codec of choice or not, amongst the public. I also want to know if i do download it, would i have to uninstall my Nimo Codec to install the Xvid codec? Are there also better codecs out there?

nimo isnt a codec.. Its a dude that made a sett of codecs and combined that in one pack=> THE NIMO CODEC PACK

In that pack, the XVID codec is included... and you dont have to uninstlal ANYTIN

You lucky SMR did anything for you

These days with new operating systems, and each PC being different, it is unwise to use a codec pack, and install everything it has.

Xvid has been the talk of the town, with more people having problems with movies converted with it, than any other codec before.

You only need a few, and installed separately.

DivX 5.02 Pro
DivX MPEG4 Hi-Res Video Codec - 3.11alpha release
M$ MPEG 4, V1 V2 V3 (Hacked)
XviD-04102002 (Uninstall after Use)
Moonlight Odio Dekoda, Universal AC-3/MPEG Audio (Layer 1/2/3) Decoder
Fraunhofer Mp3 Pro
Ligos Technology LSX-MPEG Suite v2.0 (Mpeg 2 filters) use with TMPGEnc

WHOA! This is starting to make sense. I got another question!
I have the nimo codec pack installed and i also installed the Xvid codec, installed seperatly. I am sure that ever since i did this my VCD's have not been coming out to great! When the angel potion codec was favored, my VCD's played out on my DVD player well(Samsung DVD-M101). Then when i switched to the Nimo Pack and Xvid, my VCD's dont come out at all. I must have burned 20 vcd's and converted 20 avi's to Mpg's all according to the "DivX to VCD guide." I have not changed any of the methods to making the VCD , but after i burned like 20 different VCD's and None of them worked!!! I figured that something had to be wrong. I tested those dvds on a different Samsung DVD player(Dual VHS/DVD) They all worked Great! Do the Codecs have different affects on different DVD players?
Hope i made sense of this. I am still a newbie

i dont install all the codecs on the nimo codec pack either, i just install the ones i need, DivX, Xvid, freuenhoffer etc.

Nimo installs a lot of problems

GET RID OF IT

Your system will thank you for it in the long run... Although I guess your problems started with "Xvid" rubbish
