got version?

[k0r0n4]

I was trying to figure out what version I had of xvid when I came across a problem.

I had originally installed Koepi's build, then tried Nic's, then back to koepi's, before I looked at the "about" dialogue box. I reinstalled Koepi's latest build and I still get the same about. I thought that maybe the core was left unchanged, and that a different part of the codec was changed. I opened up windows explorer and headed into the system32 directory and found this:

All the files had 2003 dates except the last one, the video for windows dynamic link library. I wasn't sure if this was just the direct show filter, which I also installed seprately, or if it was pasrt of the latest xvid. Any ideas as to what version/build of xvid I actually have (and if it isn't the latest, why the latest isn't installing) are greatly appriciated :D .

Thanks in advance

if you look at the driver name in VDub info, you'll see 'xvid.dll'. so you are still using the old version.

you either have to fix this in the registry (point it too xvidvfw.dll), or uninstall xvid and try reinstalling again.

in the furute it is best to uninstall things first before installing something over it ;)

BTW - xvidvfw is not a directshow-codec of course, its a video for windows codec :p

I edited the registry and fixed the problem, it now points to the right dll. Know if I can delete the old ones?

oh yeah, I'm confusing VFW and DS, they're oposites not similar xD

you could delete xvid.dll (not xvid.ax), but it doesnt do any harm to keep it there it think.

I deleted all three and reinstalled xvid just in case. Everything seems to be working well now. Thanks for the help!

btw,
xvidcore.dll, xvidvfw.dll and xvid.ax are 1.0's names.
xvid.dll, xvid.ax are dev-api-3's names.

Uhhhm, I didn't delete xvidvfw.dll because it seems to have overwritten it every time I've done a reinstall :D
