identify the video and audio codec with gstpot and post the details in this topic.

[bugsbunny14]

hi Baldrick ,

audio coded : 0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3 , 44100Hz 128 kb/s tot , Joint Stereo

video codec : xvid , XviD ISO MPEG-4

[bugsbunny14]

the others which work fine are : XVID, XviD 1.0.1

Uninstall the xvid codec and install the latest version? Also, make sure Xvid's support for other fourccs is enabled (decoderconfig dialog).

done exaactly what u said , didn't work though

Just use the VLC media player instead.

I bet you that VLC will work !

P.S.
OK I just read the entire post so ... what can I say? ... I obviously didn't read the whole post the first time. Still though ... be happy any XviD you have downloaded even plays at all. So you can't use MPC? Big deal *shrug*

Check Xvid's Output Colourspace setting. "No Force" is usually best but try the others.

Verify that you file is really an AVI file. It may be something else, like an MP4 file, that's been renamed AVI. GSpot will report the container. It should be AVI or Open DML (AVI 2.0).

hi

i tried to play with Xvid's Output Colourspace setting , didn't work .

and yes it says avi 1.0 on gspot , so it's an avi file .

another question is it possible to send you the link of the videoget software which downloads youtube clips and converts them to avi , so u can try it yourself ?

After downloading a video with that program use AVI FourCC Code Changer to change the "Four CC Used code" from "xvid" to "XVID".

first mine is not called AVI FourCC Code Changer it's called nick's FourCC Code Changer .

and i did what u told me to do but unfortunately didn't work .

[jagabo]

Make sure the top one is "xvid" and the bottom one is "XVID". Worked for me.
