i am having problems playing the november 21st episode of top gear it tells me i have an error downloading the codec in WMP and realplayer just wont play it. if it needs xvid someone please tell me how to use it to make this video work thx in advance
 
theres a million different programs in the xvid folder after i install it none of which i have any clue how to use which one do i open and how do i use it to work the video
 
you don't, once it's installed leave the Program Files alone.

Just open Window Media Player, and try to play the file again...

download that, close WMP (if open), run the XviD exe and then play the vid in WMP

That's very weird, is WMP still trying to download a codec?
Try giving it a reboot.
 
I had a similar problem with this vid. GSpot rendering told me that it thought the vid was xvid, but that there were _some_ invalid streams in the avi. Mind you this was my 3rd download of it, so I'm pretty certain it was good.

My laptop ID'd it as Divx, interestingly, and it played fine in WMP and others.

I can only presume there's some kind of codec confusion going on on my desktop. :x
 
Yeah, there would be, XviD is a like a mod to the DivX codec, so I'm told. :)
 
Ok, i was impatient and played a TG while it was still DLing, and it plays fine...but now it says its incomplete, and i asked VUK and the file size is right
