Im having some trouble playing Divx's some work and some play just black with no sound, i have the newest Divx codecs and the newest Media player etc but still nothing any ideas?

DivX files encoded in the illegal version 3.x don't work with the 5.0.x codec, you'll have to find the version 3 codec and install 5.0.x over it. anyone know where?

The Nimo Codec Pack should have it:

a right click, properties might do the trick - if not try using virtuadub or nandub - that'll defo tell you

Have you tried the Xvid codec (Open source MPEG 4 codec). If these DivX backups were encoded using Xvid then this codec will be needed to get them working.

...have you tried GSpot ?

(To identify codecs, etc.)

Problem is there are so many versions of the different codecs.
Grab all the xvid ones you can (I have 3 different versions).

Goto www.doom9.org - check out his download section it has all the codecs and install them all - that will cover it and any others that you go to play.
