Wont work after fourCc change

[boda]

Ok the movie i had was green when i tried to convert in tmpgEnc. so i tried to change with the fourCC trick now the movie wont play on my computer either. the fourCC description code was "DX50" and the bottom one said `
. so i changed it back to that and it still wont play on my computer either. i know the format is divx 5.0.5 cuz of the DX50 but what is the `
for? and is that bottom one wrong?

[boda]

Doesnt anyone know the other code that goes with DX50 in the fourCC changer?

DIVX or XVID will work here. Make sure you change all of them to XVID or DIVX. All the mpeg-4 video codec variant decompressors are cross-compatible.

[boda]

what does G-Spot say ??

It says i have two compatible codecs installed

[DaveQB]

and the FourCC code is ????

[boda]

well i think it goes by whatever i change it to... right now it says DX50

[DaveQB]

and G-Spot can get it to render ??

hmmm odd

tried a few different media players ??

[boda]

No gspot can not get it to render either

[DaveQB]

ahh it sounds like a corupted file then, simple as that.

DivXfix might help, but maybe not.

[boda]

well i dont think its corrupt since it worked b4 i changed the fourCC and ive tried Divfix. this ones a real thinker

[funkguy4]

change it to DIVX.............if that don't work it's not mpeg-4 based file........

[DaveQB]

try this updated AVI spliter,
plays back broken files etc

Maybe you did it wrong?

Do you have the Divx 5.05 codec installed on your system?

[funkguy4]
