    just unistall all the divx, xvid 3ivx etc.... codecs from add/remove programs. then install ffdshow - its the best mpeg4 decoder I have ever used. handles divx 3/4/5 xvid, 3ivx, mp4 everything! and with great post-processing.

    if you are doing encoding also install divx 5.1 and xvid's latest stable build.

    that should clear up any and all problems

    if not, try switching players - maybe use DivX player. It seems to play all the wierd formats I throw at it *avi, ogm, matroska, if its mpeg4 video it can play it!
