Title: Cannot play DivX
Post by: rmoody on September 10, 2004, 01:30:34 pm

It seems that no matter what I try, I cannot get MC to play a Divx AVI, all it does is start playing and then crash.  I have the DivX codec installed and it will play the file.  The best I can get Windows Media Player to do is possibly play the file with that dern Divx watermark.  Why can't I have MC use the codec that I want it to use?  Help me please.

For the Divx watermark you could try this: Go to Start Menu -> Programs -> DivX Codec -> Decoder Configuration Utility -> Quality Settings -> Disable Logo.

For the other problems I don't know. My DivX works. You could unistall DivX and try this software:
