The DivX player works fully, but nothing else does. I get audio in Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, and Media Center PC, but no video. Ran GSpot, and it says I have the codecs. I'm using Vista 32. I have played this before on another computer with XP, using MPC. Here are some specs from GSpot:

Stream Type..
Type: AVI
IMRR: 1.00
I/L: 1 vid frame (42 ms) Split: No

Comments: ISFT: Software - VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.1 (build 2366/release)

Video..
4CC: DX50/XVID
Name: DivX 5.0
(More Info): The following codec...: DivX Decoder Filter
Runtime: 01:45:34
x:y: 616x336
Bitrate: 795
FPS: 23.976
Qf: 0.160 bits/pixel

DirectShow Render: Video Src Type: 4cc: DX50
Video Path: (S) --> AVI Splitter --> DivX Decoder Filter --> (R)
Audio Path: (S) --> AVI Splitter --> Moonlight Odio Dekoda --> AC3Filter --> (R)

I've run the "All in one" fix, and uninstalled/installed DivX 3 times.
But..GSpot says I'm fine. :-( Any suggestions?

One reason could be that

One reason could be that your system chooses a Divx/Xvid decoder which is unable to playback the Video, over the correct one. In this case you'd need to check/change the Merritt of that decoder. But be warned, if you do it wrong you might not be able to playback anything anymore !

The most save way would be using vlc (videolan.org) player.
This player uses its own decoder rather than the windows ones. Try it!
