Latest DivX version displaying distorted images...

[IanGlinka]

I've noticed when I use the latest version of DivX, some of my .avi videos are displayed with a strange green/pink distortion over the video, and the top of the display is split into two different "screens." It's hard to explain... like as if the screen was cut into thirds and the same video is being displayed on the left and right... but on the bottom, it's just what looks like tv noise.

If I uninstall the latest version of divX, and roll back to a prior version, the display returns to normal.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Ian

Use the previous version of divx.

The advancement of the divx 5 versions is solely within the encoding process; the decoding process is the same throughout all versions. You might want to check out an open source decoder called "ffdshow" if all you want to do is playback of divx files, I use this decoder myself.
