Xvid.ax

[DVDHelpPlease]

When I use Gspot to check a video it says I mssing the Xvid.ax in c:\windows\system32

Does anyone know where I can download it or restore it, or if I even need it at all?

Thank you

At a guess I'd say it is a file associated with the XviD codec. To fix, it should as simple as re-installing an XviD codec. You'll only need it you play or convert XviD files on your computer.

yes I reinstalled Xvid, but it says it can't find the file on my computer. All the movies play just fine, just wondering if this is a critical file that needs recovering??

Many thanks for your help

It is XviD's dshow decoder. If files play fine without it, then something else like ffdshow is being used to decode. If you want just xvid.ax you can grab it here: http://celticdruid.no-ip.com/xvid/
The 7-zip files contain just the XviD files; xvid.ax, xvidvfw.dll and xvidcore.dll.
