ive recently been having trouble playing divx files. when i click to open the file it takes an extremley long time to load and when it does load there r blocks the colour changes every now then sometimes is fine then goes red or blue then blocks appear on the screen. also when i close the divx file i get an error msg saying memory could not be read or a windows error msg saying virtual memmory minimum is too low. and when i check the cpu usage at this time it is always 100% and everything is very slow. at first i thought the divx file i downloaded must be wrecked or something but now it has happens with all my divx files. can anyone tell me whats happening here

Seems like a CODEC problem. Have you tried re-installing your DIVx CODEC's or upgrading? www.divx.com

I had the same problem and its easy to fix. Go to the microsoft web site and download the codec pack, if its wmp 8 then the download is wmpcdc8.After installing this I have had no more problems with divx movies.

guys i need some guidance here i downloaded the wmp8codecs but nothing worked the file was still the same but after testing on real player and windows media player i still had the same prob so i decidedd to try divx aplha 2.0 that worked fine the divx is great there with no probs but now when i try to convert that divx into an mpg using tmpgenc it loads it as though im playing it off wmplayer so the quailty goes shit again as i mentioned above. and this wmplayer only happened after i formatted the comp so i have no idea what is going on

I think your problem may be the angelpotion codec. Several sites (I think doom9 is one) report that the codec screws with you hard drive creating uneccerssary files that will slow your system down. There are a coulpe of progs that allow you to change the header of your avi to Mpeg4 without the need to re compress the file.

Here's the link to a page with it on.

just read the paragraph and dl the prog. hope this helps.

I suppose it depends on the kind of movie, it may be best to do a high motion version and a low motion one then use a prog like AVIrevolution.
it compares the two films and make a single file out of both, end result a film which uses the best of the low motion scenes and high motion scenes in a single smaller file.
