Hi-

I'm not sure why but after i just installed the updates to Nero Burning Rom 6.0.0.23 (from 6.0.0.0) suddenly my xvid decoding was hijacked by the DivX Decoder Filter - every time i opened a xvid file, the decoder used would not be the xvid one i installed, but the DivX one, and predictable, it did not yield the best results. So, i uninstalled DivX 5.1.1, Nic's latest Decoder, and Koepi's Latest dev-api-3 build, and rebooted. To my surprise i could still play xvid and divx files, through the Nero Decoder.
Anyway, then installed divx 5.1.1, then Koepi's Xvid 1.0, then Nic's again for decoding. But when i try to open an xvid file the DivX Decoder Filter once again hijacks it (btw divx decodes divx files fine). Is there someway i can stop (manually maybe?) divx from decoding my xvid video files and let Nic's Xvid Decoder do the job ?

p.s. to see whats decoding my video files, i'm using BSPlayer and checking with the little OGM filter tray icon.

yes. go to DivX5's Decoder Configuration Utility, Under"Quality Settings" tag, uncheck "support Generic MPEG-4"
