is this caused by servicepack 1?
This is a discussion about is this caused by servicepack 1? in the Customization Tweaking category; I just realized that since I installed Servicepack 1, I cannot play certain divx-movies anymore. I checked the videcodecs, tried nimo-codec pack and tsunami, but neither of them did it. The files are not corrupted, since I can still play the on other computers.

Is there any solution to that, besides uninstalling servicepack 1?

Try mplayer2.exe in the Windows Media Player folder instead of WMP 8.

OP
its not working either...not even playa will play it
Have you tried reinstalling the Divx 5 Bundle (Player, Codec)?

OP
the thing is, I think somewhere I read that servicepack1 for WindowsXP disables playback of movies with certain codecs.

Negative. I have XP SP1 and all codecs work, including DivX (both 3.11a and 5.02).

but I still can't figure out why only some of the movies are not working..I can't find a pattern. Not all of my divx movies are affected by this, only some.
I get a wierd error saying "Pins are not connected" when trying to play some videos, this only happens radomly though and a reboot takes care of it.
