divx 5.1.1 and voodoo 5 5500 agp

[nodiaque]

Hi, I have a voodoo 5 5500 agp with the latest amigamerlin drivers and I can't playback divx files. When I tried to do so, I get a blackscreen with 4 diagonals of 5 pixels width each... any idea?

I know it's not a codec issue since I use the same combination of codec on another computer and everything is working fine.

just tried a divx file using the divx 5.1.1 codec and latest player.... not sure with what codec the divx was mode though...

and what is the result?

oopz... it works...
perhaps you have installed a codec pack? uninstall it... else try to clean install divx, or else clean install amigamerlin

hmm... by the way, I'm in windows 2k...

I only have kazaa lite codec pack latest version and divx (kazaa lite without divx), I'll try

[amp_man]

kazaa lite? has codec packs? are you trying to use kazaa lite to play your media files? Try using the regular windows media player, and upgrade it to the latest version (9.0 I think). Also, download a normal codec pack, not the kazaa lite one, or later versions of WMP will normally find codecs and download them for you.

eu.... no... kazaa lite codec pack... not kazaa lite itself... its a bundle of all the codec needed to play any video files... if after installing that, you can't play your video (missing codec), your video use unknown codec... They are doing other stuff too like quicktime alternative and real alternative that come with media player classic. This enable you to play quicktime and real files without there player by installing the codec and the registry key needed. They even come with the control panel now.

But, I tried uninstalling everything, drivers and all, doesn't fix...

I know it's not a codec issue, it's not my first time playing with codec, it's more of a drivers problem with win 2k....

As for the player, using windows media player? Are you nuts? (no offence) It's just that's one of the worst player to use... download some codec (all codec that aren't against microsoft, like divx), use alot of memory and slow down video... Use media player classic or light alloy for your video... I personnaly use both of them (media player classic for files like asf, wmv, real and quicktime files... light alloy for the rest)

i use win2k as well, and i tried that kazaa lite codec pack too... i dont like it... uninstall it and try Nimo codec pack instead.

[nodiaque]

I don't like nimo codec pack...

[qrazi]

hmmmz, well, i seem to recall that the combination voodoo5 5500 + kazaa lite codec pack + divx movie doesnt work... at least, i had to uninstall it and installed nimo pack instead. ofcourse you could uninstall, install latest official divx codecs and then kazaa lite codec pack, but without divx codecs... perhaps that will work okay for you.

hmmm... like I already said, I'm using the official divx codec and kazaa lite codec pack without the divx codec from divx codec pack... What I'm doing is that I'm installing the kazaa lite codec pack without all the stuff 'bout divx and xvid (cause I'm using divx to play xvid files, header modification of avi) and then install the official divx with a registration key and then try to play the movie. I also tried uninstalling my amigamerlin drivers, kazaa lite codec and divx codec and then installing my amigamerlin drivers and only the official divx codec, doesn't work...
