DivX 5.0

[Sakuya]

I downloaded an AVI that uses DivX 5.0 (says so in Gspot). It won't open in Virtualdub. The following error message appears:

Couldn't locate decompressor for format "DX50" (unknown)
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable.

I selected it as a Video Source in TMPGEnc and it loaded fine. No error messages. So is there any way to open it in VDub?

I use VertualDub ver 1.5.4 , and I open DivX 5.05 clips with no problem

[Sakuya]

I use that version too.

dear friend

DX50 is not the same thing as
DivX 5.0


dxFIFTY is a seperate codec. do a forum search here for dx50 and you will find the solution

I use ffdshow already and I checked off DivX 5. It plays in mplayer2.exe but not in VDub. And there is no "dx50" codec in the Tools page.

Nevermind, I downloaded the Divx5.0.5 Bundle and installed only the codec. It opens in VDub now! Thanks!
