Xvid....Need Help please
 

I want to install Xvid, but have no idea how to. I got the zip file from their website, but i cannot see .exe file when I unzip it. Do I paste it somewhere? Any help will be greatly appreciated

I'm pretty sure I had an installer from the site when I needed the XVID codec

hmm interesting, maybe I got some Beta version. Do you still have the link? and btw that was quick :shock:

No link but I see still the exe I downloaded this August stored in my PC... maybe not the latest version.. but if you want I can mail it to you...

There're many different build for XviD, each one is a little bit different. If you just want to play XviD, just download ffdshow. It plays most mpeg-4 based codec, even the microsoft ones. Built in support for sub too.

you might have gotten the source code, you must get the installer.


Ill help ya out mate

yep, thats what I needed, thnx a lot bud :D

no prob

I advise u to download an .exe file. But if u r bored then open the .ini file (there should be one). There shoul be a list of files...copy all of them to your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ folder.

^thnx man, but I already got that fixed :D

Another thing you can try is to install a codec pack, something like Nimo Codec pack which has many of the codecs together. Or just trying looking around for codec packs. It sorta minimises the time looking for a particular codec when you realy want to watch a show and you only have sound and no video, or only video and no sound.

What packs would you recommend, keep in mind that I already have Nimo and Xvid.

Personally I would download/install the K-Lite codec pack:

LW.

AFAIK nimo has about most everything, except for the Indeo codecs. Maybe because you did a basic or custom install that's why you're possibly missing a few codecs. But if everything works now, then don't mess with it :)
