Get a precompiled binary from koepi.org. And I'd also recommend not using the k-lite codec pack and only installing the codecs that you need separately, as codec packs have been known to cause problems all the time.

Well based on your previous statement of:

it didnt seem like it. But most likely the problem is the codec pack as they always seem to screw things up.

Ur best bet is to install the latest ffdshow, it's more highly optimized than Xvid's decoder and more likely to work right IMHO. :D U can get it from http://www.afterdawn.com/
