ok i got family guy , its an.xvid file and it needs the special codec's which i have , i cant figure out how to install them pls help asap

[Agozer]

Google for ffdshow and install it. (preferably a 2005 build, but 2004 alpha will help you too).

There is no figuring out how to work it really, unless you want some fancy post-processing or other tweaks to video/audio.

i think i might have a flocked version , it doesnt seem to work.. should i be able to just open up divx and it should work ?

[Agozer]

If you installed all the audio and video codecs (by selecting them from the list in the installer), everything should work right off the bat.

Uninstall it, and try downloading this version (unless you did so already): http://fin.afterdawn.com/ohjelmat/video_oh...cit/ffdshow.cfm

 

It's a finnish site, but the download link is in plain sight.

im partly lost... it sounds simple yet im struggling sorry agozer i must be fustrating you anyway here is what i get , in divx

 

[Agozer]

Well, it could help if you'd ditch the DivX Player and get a good player, such as BSPlayer, VLC or Media Player Alternative.

ok word taken , i never liked divx , i would usually use windows media or real player in other words divx is ditched thx agozer

aww man, I wish I would've read this earlier

 

if I did I would've beat agozer to the punch by saying "just find ffdshow" and that'd be it

 

but no, so meh

 

next time just read this thread

 

IMO, you don't need the actual divx and xvid codecs unless you're an encoder yourself
