Problems Playing Back DX50/divx - AC3 Video

[joewho]

Hi,

I have an AVI video clip which will not play back in any player I have tried it in, ie Windows Media Player 9, Real Player, Power DVD5, NeroMix. When inserted into GSpot it gives the following information regarding the clip: VIDEO: Codec: 4CC - DX50/divx, Name - DivX 5.0 xcy - 640x352, Bitrate -1288kb/s, FPS 25.00, Qf - 0.229 bits/pixel. AUDIO: Codec: Name - ac3 (0x2000) Doloby Laboratories, Bitrate - 448 kb/s (5ch) CBR, Fs - 48000 Hz. Direct Show Render: Video Src Type - 4cc: DX50, Audio Src Type- AC3 (0x2000). Video Path : (S) -> AVI splitter -> fddshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder -> (R). Audio Path: (S) -> AVI Splitter -> ffdshow Audio Decoder -> (R). When played in WMP 9 the error come up "Windows Media Player 9 has encountered a problem and needs to shut..", very little other information is gine. I have ffdshow -20040520 and AC3 Filter installed.

Why does this clip not play back in Windwos Media Player 9 or any of the other players I have tried and what do I need to do to be able to play it back?

Many thanks for your help and attention.

Disable AC3 decoding in ffdshow so that AC3Filter is used and see if that makes any difference.
