The 'div3' fourcc is used by the old Divx 3.11a

codec. You should probably try to find and install it.

I can't remember if it works or not, but you could also try changing the fourcc to DIVX and see if that works. I think a fourcc changer comes with xvid.

ffdshow's VFW interface will handle it, which will completely bypass having to install DivX 3.11;) itself and avoid any problems that may arrive with that.

Otherwise, it should be perfectly safe to change the FourCC to 'MP43' - in which case either the MS MPEG-4 codecs or ffdshow's VFW will handle them. Since the original DivX was just a hack of MS MPEG-4v3 (or whichever version it was, but I'm pretty sure it was v3), the FourCCs are interchangable. As Zarxrax said, a FourCC changer comes with XviD, at least if you go with Koepi's XviD builds.

Note: For ffdshow's VFW interface to work, it 1) obviously has to be installed and 2) has to be set manually to decode said formats (change it from 'disabled' to 'libavcodec' on the Decoders tab). It doesn't come preconfigured for this sort of thing.

You can get the newest ffdshow builds that include the VFW interface at:

If you've installed the CCCP, you'll need to uninstall the version of ffdshow you currently have before you install the new one, since the CCCP build of ffdshow doesn't include the VFW interface.

Thanks, i tried all what u guys said but............nothin seemed to work, first i tried to open the episodes with the fourcc changer but it said "error openin file" then i tried changin in the VFW from disabled to libavec but it didnt make any difference, i still donno whats the use of VFW, all i did was do the change u told me Qyot27,
As for the Divx 3.11a, it didnt work, all it did was destroy the project i was workin on

, anyway i reinstalled the Divx 5.05 and the project was recovered

. hmm.........it seems that a new error has appeared, the old one is still there, but another error comes while i imported another episode sayin "couldnt locate decompressor fourcc xviD"

now i dont really know wth is fourcc so i really need help on this guys
