'This video is in an unsupported format and cannot be played without installing additional Direct Show Filters'
I thought I installed Direct Show Filtrs, but still I have this message with some of my files in DivX. Can someone help? 
I face the same problem..
You should run codec information utilities on the file to know WHICH DirectShow filter(s) you need.
MediaInfo
GSpot
AVICodec
Any of the above utilities should work. Some work with some containers and not others, so if you’re not getting results, try another one.
GSpot reports that the codec is installed but I stil do not see any video on an avi with divx or media player
I have the same problem
I’m having the same problem as well.
exact same problem, this is gay
Did you all recently update your divx player ? I did and thats when this whole mess started ! I’m almost positive thats what did it.
Use VLC Media Player!
i downloaded VLC media player and this movie wont play
I’ve wasted hours and hours trying to get my .avi xvid file to run.. have tried every possible thing, codecs, divx, wmp11, wmp classic, ssplayer, vlc and Nothing I mean nothing is working, seriously pissed off now, got to the point where I actually, don’t give a crap, RMVB format FTW ! <-- swear to you less complications with real media files they are seriously > than any slightly better quality .avi .mpeg or other files like these which often
don’t run
people should really stop commenting “oh hey i’ve got this problem too!' 'cause really, nobody asked you if you have got the same problem and it is just fucking annoying.
May be it is only an issue realted to a bad video.

Try to download another media player like as KMplayer, or just download this video converter to mp4 video format.
