DivX Player: How to change "Overlay Mixer"

[crnagora]

Hi everybody,

I got a problem with the directx/ddraw part of my System (Crappy Nvidia 6600):

A green or pink screen instead of a video with all players. I took me a while to figure out that its the due to the "Overlay Mixer" (If anyone knows how to fix this -> please let me know).

Same happens when I change to VMR7 or VMR9, for example in MediaPlayerClassic. But If I change to "Old Video Renderer" -> everything is fine.

I tried different vga-drivers (Uninstalled them with drivercleaner), and removed all the codecs I had installed (I suspected the HDX4 Codec since I tested that one a couple days before). But nothing.

So I'm gonna live with that bug till the next reinstall of Windows XP, but I would like to know if someone knows how to change the Renderer in the DivX Player (Registry ?) ?

So...any clues ?

try Radlight Filter Manager (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RadLight_Filter_Manager) or similar tools

Thanks for the answer.

But it didn't work. I used Zoomplayer to reregister the dshowfiles. Now every player works again (Overlay Mixer)...except the DivX Player...strange.

Problem solved :eek:

It had something to do with the June Update of DirectX. Even after uninstalling DirectX (And rolling back to version 8 of the Windows XP CD) the problem was there.

But after installing the July Update:

It all works fine again. Thanks MS (But I guess they screwed up in the first time...so :p ).
