Win 7 & Xvid codec

Windows 7 32-bit

I never install codecs on my system, the most I've done is install VobSub Filter and ffdshow.  JRiver Media Center 14 trial seems to have left a lot of codecs on the system and Windows Media Player is preferring those codecs to ffdshow- even with a very high merit in ffdshow config (which seems to change back to default merit every time I open it, different topic).  

Anyway I'm only sure about this if: Windows Media Player doesn't support Xvid decoding without installing a decoder, I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Mr ChriZ:
What codecs are you seeing left beind?
I don't think MC installs much in this department.
FFDshow can decode XVid

Fits_like_briefs:
I don't know how to check for the exact codecs installed in Windows 7.  There's nothing in Device Manager to show that.  Re-read what I wrote.

Fits_like_briefs:
What I'm saying is:  Windows Media Player is decoding xvid.  I've never installed any xvid decoder, and ffdshow isn't doing the decoding.

I am pretty sure you are wrong.

Microsoft can decode xvid on Windows 7.

Media Center does not install codecs, in particular not any Xvid codec, not to mention leaving them behind.
