Lately, a lot of fansubbers are releasing episodes encoded in Xvid with the 4CC changed to DIVX. While Divx 5.0.5 can play them, I do notice several artifacts (like mayor pixelation in scene changes) that dissapear when I set the files to use Xvid instead.

My recommendation is to decode these files using the real Xvid codec instead of Divx.

You sure you dont just have different postprocessing settings for your xvid and divx decoders?

I don't use post processing with any codec. While my CPU can handle it, I don't like it. As for the artifcats in questions they appear within a single frame, in a form ressembling multiple random squares in different colors. I only notice this in scene changes though, and it never appears when I use Xvid to play Xvid. Besides, why play Xvid through Divx? Better post-processing?

ok i installed the nimo codec to help me since it usually does. it shows the video but i wont show it playing. it keeps it at the first frame of the video but plays the song. i dont know whats up with it.

You just screwed yourself.

Nimo contains out of date versions, overwrites things, screws up the registry, and doesn't uninstall properly.

Don't ever install nimo, it is EVIL!

That bit scares me. The only way I could watch my Trigun Fansubs (before the DVDs came out) was to install a few parts of Nimo.... I hope they were the bits that didn't fuck the registry up teh ass.

For some reason, I would think the Divx 5 codec might be a good choice.

But the trigun dvds came out long before Nimo was in existence
