Xvid rc1 and ffdshow problems?

[lakedude]

Did some searching and found:Well I've been looking around and I haven't been able to find where can I get a new version of ffdshow which give support to XviD 1.0, you know, to avoid fliping the image and jumping/freezing/loosing of frames.

Which sounds similar to the problem I'm having. I made a video with FU36c and xvid rc1 and ffdshow will not play it properly no matter which decoder is selected (simple/xvid). The video flashes like every other frame is black and the video that does show up gets black blocks in it. Uninstalling ffdshow and using the xvid decoder does solve the problem except that I was counting on ffdshow to be a universal decoder. Is this incompatablility being looked at?

I bet you can find the answer in many many posts, if you only search. Even, partially, in my signature. Starting a new thread just to say what we already know seems like a bad idea.

Ffdshow needs to be updated but isn't. Developers are missing/busy/no longer available/etc. I definitely hope this is not the death of ffdshow, but it's not up to me.

BTW, simple/xvid are not decoders but iDCT routines. They won't help with that.
