[Windows Media Player] video blocky/pixelated.
I recently just reformatted my computer and now when I'm playing movies some of the video is blocky or pixelated. It's only like that when I play them on Windows Media Player, but when I use the Divx player it plays perfectly. I really like using WMP since I'm familiar with the program so I don't really want to use a different program to watch movies on. Any suggestions?
the problem isn't WMP or the codec, its how it was encoded, I'm guessing that the person who encoded the original file to that format by using whatever "program" they used it is a really crappy program lolz :D

*edit*
sorry about the double post, idk but it had some error anyways I hope my info could somehow help you?
Yeah it's xvid.
Before I reformatted they worked perfectly fine. Maybe it's an issue with WMP since they do play perfectly fine on divx player. I just prefer WMP.
How is the video encoded? (XviD / DivX / x264)
If it's x264 it could be it uses weighted P-frame prediction, which most decoders do not support.
dunno wat to do. I'm stumped. I'll just play it on Divx player.
