Which Codec is Missing

[mb571]

I downloaded Shallow Hal but cannot view it yet. I believe it is a codec problem. I have loaded most of the Nimo Pack already.
In VDub I get "Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'DX50' unkown"
Windows media player closes immediately when opening the avi file.
Any ideas??

Nimo Codec Pack loaded? Direct Show prioritized?

If you get an error message when opening the video or audio like file unsupported
or you get an empty(black) video preview window
or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Be sure that you have installed the DivX Codecs (both DivX 3.11, 4 and 5) and also try with the Nimo Codec Pack. If that does not work try to change the codec reader settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 and try open the video.

Have done this a long time ago.

Have you scanned the video stream for any junk frames?
