Hello.

I am having troubles with my current video players, it seems that upon playing an xvid encoded movie, the quality of the video is crappy, I see a lot of weird textures and everything seems greenish. I know that it's not the rip.

It may have something to do with the computer I am on, I know that the video card isn't that good.

Is anyone having similar problems or has in the past and knows how to fix this?

Yes, I have changed the playback quality in both favors and it hasn't done anything to correct the problem.

Help!

Alright, nevermind.

I spent some time downloading new players and found one that was more compatable with my system. I suggest checking it out, it's called BSPlayer.

Thanks anyways, sorry about that.

the problem is not the player as such by the sounds of it but the codec.
It sounds like you are decoding using ffdshow, however, older versions are incompatible with Xvid. Load up windows media player 6.11 (in windows media player directory, called mplayer2). Load up your xvid in the player, then go to file>properties>Advanced>ffdshow>properties and uncheck xvid playback.

You will get good quality in everyplayer. If you have a problem, use the board search for ffdshow. There is lots of information about this problem already, it's very common

BSplayer is a good player, although I prefer zoomplayer.

Spud,
I'm not seeing ffdshow in the advanced tab. Hmmm. Maybe that's not the problem after all. Needless to say, the problem is fixed (for now).
Thanks though!

Love,
Spazz

ah okay, well as long as it's fixed

Downoad and install LATEST ALPHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
