Hi I have some videos and their codec is DivX and they won't open with Windows Media Player, a few weeks ago they used to open but now they won't! I searched for DivX Codec and all it says is to download the bundle and I already have that, and I have the latest version too! Why don't they open on WMP? are there any settings I should use? but remember they USED TO OPEN! and I didn't modify the settings. so any help? thanks!

Try reinstalling first.

I like to use VLC. I've never had an codec error with it.

Thanks for the link, but I kinda fancy WMP. It's one of the few Microsoft Products I like

I read that website! But it tells you to download the Bundle and I have that :)

Why not give a try removing completely and then re-installing. (if you can remove registry entries also)

Read this http://forum.codecal....html#post13045

and you will know :) I un-installed it, well removing or not removing registries will not make any difference, I suppose.

Try this link.

Download the DivX Codec and DivX Player - DivX Movies

And when I tried without those Codecs only I could hear the sound and the video is absolute black. I think Codecs are some kind of uncompressors or decoders as that's only I know about Codecs.

I'm downloading it. I had that but can't find it on my PC, I'm re-downloading it again, hope this solves the issue!

EDIT:- Didn't work!
