HungOver Guest | I have several movies in my library that no matter what I play them with (Have used Real, WMP, WinDVD) they are all pixilated and smeared. I can tell that it is not a problem with the movie itself. The smears and pixilation is always different, almost like my computer can’t catch up with the movie. Any Suggestions or insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

HungOver Guest | I have also tried BS Player, and that is even worse. The screen is just all green and jacked up, kind of hard to describe. PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks

I used to have this problem (the smearing) when seeking through DivX files that were shrunk with CompressAVI.
Another thing to try is to feed the file into VirtualDub and try to play it in there. If the video plays without smearing, but in slow motion, that probably means your processor is underpowered (some modern codecs are very processor-intensive).

HungOver Guest | Thanks for the info on the G spot app. I ran it and it appears as though I have all the necessary codecs to play these videos. The strange thing is, atleast a couple of them are videos I have played before without issue. Maybe if I elaborate a little more someone will have a solution. In windows, the icons for the videos that are problematic are all green, as opposed to the normal opening screen that it should show. Then when I play the video, it also starts out green, then it kind of smears from scene to scene, each one almost melting in a pixelation of the next scene. This is really frustrating me. Any thoughts?

HungOver Guest | Ok, it may be a codec problem... When I use Virtual Dub I get this message:
Couldn’t locat decompressor for format 'XVID' (unkown)
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable.
But I have no idea what this means exactly. Can anyone translate????
