Hi there!
Is anyone familiar with the XVID video format? It's some kind of open-source third party codec for DIVX. However, I am unable to get it to work on my computer (at least, I only get sound, no video). Does someone here have experience with that, or maybe a tool to convert it to, say, MPEG?
You should install a codec pack that has codecs for xvid video, I installed the Matroska pack (http://packs.matroska.org/) and any avi I've wanted to play has played, there are others though.
What's the problem exactly?
Anyway, xvid.org just provide codec's source. If you need the installation file, use the last stable Koepi build, here: http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml
Or you could get ffdshow, which also displays XviD movies. And is awesome.
ffdshow should work, as snarky mentioned.

I agree with this. The ffdshow codec works great for me.
Problem is I installed the XVID codec and it didn't work. I'll see if ffdshow helps, though.
ffdshow is what my codec pack was based on, it's good. If that doesn't work you should try using the VideoLAN player, it doesn't require external codecs and supports xvid.
Scotch is right. If it won't work with VLC player (www.videolan.org) then there's either something wrong with the file, or something wrong with the time-space continuum.
..Altho it's probly the file.
(oh btw this was in adventure-related T&C since it's an AVI I intend to include in an AGS game... :) )
FFDshow works; apparently it's better than the official XVID codec. Thanks folks!
