WMP/DIVX troubleshooting.

Recommended Posts

I'm having an issue with both WMP and DIVX Player. On certain videos in WMP the audio is fine but the screen in split in a 45 degree diagonal with the left side being black and the right side showing video normally. When I try to run the same files in DIVX Player, the screen starts normally, but if I resize the window, it breaks up like WMP.

According to GSpot, I'm running all the right codecs. Anyone got any ideas?

What codec is the file you're trying to play? What codecs have you got installed? I have seen problems with some MPEG-4 codecs (xvid, divx, ffdshow) doing stupid shit before. I used to have all of them installed. Then I removed them all and just reinstalled ffdshow alone and things worked better. I've since re-installed xvid, as I used it for re-encoding edited video in Vegas.

Another thing you can try is use a self-contained video player such as either MPlayer or VideoLANClient

VLC is probably the easier one to use if you don't like command-lines. MPlayer does have a GUI, but I've never used it on Windows. On the other hand, mplayer does come bundled with it's own encoder, which is sometimes useful for transcoding material.
