unable to play avi/xvid files in vista???

very strange right? i dont know what happened, when i installed vista newly and tried watching avi/xvid files.... but to my surprise i am unable to watch them.... i even installed avi codec pack and tried. but no use.
i can hear the audio. but i cant see the video. it appears white screen in vlc player.... i never had a problem with vlc player before in media center as well as vista...
dont know why i am facing this strange problem this time in vista..... pls help me, i cant able to watch any of the video clips....pls....

 

^^
Have u installed ur gfx drivers??
Which mobo, gfx card u using???

 

try installing the klite codecs and other codecs it should be fine

 

i am using ati x1400 graphics card. and i have installed the driver for it also. but it wasnt the problem before...
one more thing i noticed is, device driver for base system is not installed which is showing up in device manager... is that the cause for it??? vlc player just displays a white wash when i try to play avi/xvid files.... but i can able to hear the audio....
lately i found out that i can play these avi/xvid files in power dvd only and in nothing else .... no other player plays these files at present except power dvd....
any solution for this???

 

install DivX codecs. even in windows Xp XviD and DivX files will play without video unless you have installed DivX codecs.

 

codecs dude install klite codecs they include most of the pop divx n other codecs!!!

 

I had heard that Divx and xVid is incompatible with Vista

 

just install DivX 6.4, it works fine here

 

VLC is the best according to me
I have about 150 DivX/XviD Movies in AVI Format
All of them play in Windows Vista after installing VLC 0.8.4a

 

no use guys.. i installled divx codecs and tried playing xvid files..then also i can hear only audio cant see video.... what to do? any problem with my installation?

 

thats strange, even i got XVid files, but i just install the official DivX 6.4 codec, not any codec packs & it playes fine

 

May I ask how you got your hands on this Vista? I thought the final version is yet to be released. Don't tell me you bought it !

 

visit www.divx.com for help of compatibility

 

its universal truth buddy.
u look like a cop, i got scared lookin at u. dont tell me u r from microsoft . r u?
do u think anyone using vista at present will be having a legal copy now??? long way to go before we lay our hands on that original copy....
just a common sense buddy.... i pity u r from mangalore....

Well, serves you right for stealing. Not that I did not know, I just wanted it to come from your mouth. I pity you are from Bangalore.

 

I've installed klite codecs and divX vdos r playimg fine in WMP11.I'm using Vista RTM,what bout u guys,wat version of vista r u using?

 

well, i am happy that u r fightin against piracy. but hold a min, i am not a pirate of all time. i have just downloaded it to give it a try.
actually i am having a legal copy of media centre edition on my laptop. since there was a much hype on vista, i thought of giving it a try.
once its released, i will rty to buy it if i find it useful.....nobody supports piracy man...especially people from south??? never. if that is the case, how can we support our engineers to develop such a great softwares???

 

Accepted. However I do recommend that you wait till all the hiccoughs are over, at least till mid 2007. I have a licensed windows xp home edition, but thats almost a dead OS as I do 99% of my work on Open SuSE, now using 10.1. That 1% I do on my legal windows is using Nokia PC suite. Bluetooth Obex functions that are available in Linux not sufficient for me.
