Does any codecs work???????????????????

[tomping]

I can´t get a single codec to work with DivX Player

The only thing that happens is error messages like FOURCC code "DivX"

And then it says i need to download new codecs and i have downloaded almost 15 different codecs but nothing works
What should i do??

Another problem i also use GDIVX player and there the files work.
But when im going to full screen or makes the screen bigger the picture gets all blurry and fuzzy why is that???

[tomping]

Any help at all??

Yes, codecs work, provided you know what you do, and don't install several codecs to handle the same encoding, something that often happens when installing codec packs, or trying several versions of the same codec without removing previous version.
As for the picture getting blurry when you go full screen - Yes, that's how it works. To begin with, the source is probably once a DVD quality mpeg of several GB
This is slightly reduced in size (resolution) then compressed up to tenfold. The trade off? Blur and fuzz. Not so noticable when played at 1:1 resolution, but when enlarged to full screen, quite apparent at close range.
The computer moinitor is very revealing when it comes to deficiensies in the picture. If you instead use a TV as monitor, it's not at all as apparent.

ABout that with the picture geting blurry is strange.
Because before i erased everything on the computer and the reinstalled everything it worked perfectly when i watched GDIVX player in fullscreen
And now it doesn´t and that is the problem, why did it work before and not now?

[mats.hogberg]

You wrote that it looks good at original size, but not in full screen. The same codec is used regardless of player window size, so I don't think it's a codec prob.
Never heard of GDIVX player, so I can't comment on that, but why don't you use DivX own player (that comes with all DivX bundles)? For me, it has been the best for playing DivX material.

Ok never mind the GDIVX player.

I have Divx player but i can´t watch any files because i dont have teh right codecs but i have tried many like nimo, ffdshow, xvid and stuff like that but divx only says that i dont have the right codecs

Is there any other codecs that works?

[Faustus]

The codec you need to watch divx files with the divx player should be on the divx.com site as well as part of the install with the divx player.

[mats.hogberg]

How about the official DivX bundle?

i have tried many like nimo

Here's the probable cause to your problems. Nimo is nothing but trouble. I was on the verge of reformatting my system to get rid of the damned thing (I didn't know then what I know now), but careful removal of all non Windows standard codecs (and then, when a AVI file refused to play, finding out what codec was missing using GSpot) finally made it possible to view most AVIs.

I have Gspot and i tried it on one avi file and it says that i have 3 compatible codecs installed Xvid Mpeg4 codec, ffdshow and xvid mpeg4 video decoder.

But the file dosent work in Divx player. it works in windows media player and realplayer, but not in divxplayer

[mats.hogberg]

This leads me to believe that it's not a DivX encoded file, but an XviD...
It had been best of you only had one codec...
Why insist on using the app that doesn't work, when you have several that do?
