MPEG-4 V3 Error

[MasterSource]

i wasnt sure which forum to post this in, so please forgive if its in the wrong place...

when i try to load up an .avi i have in VirtualDub, i get the following error:

'Couldn't locate decompressor for format DIV3 (Microsoft High-Speed MPEG-4 V3 [Hack: DivX Low-Motion])'

ive seen this a few times on the forum here and elsewhere, but i cant work it out. ive installed the official microsoft codec for V3, and the binary hack of it

nothing seems to work! please help!

did you install divx3?

thanx for the suggestion,

i installed the gordian knot codec pack, and just to make sure i downloaded and installed a separate version of DivX 3.11 alpha

still no luck with the file though, i have all the codecs from doom 9 and the latest Divx 6 and still i get the same error

DIV3 is the divx3 codec, so if it still doesnt work altough you installed divx3 i dunno what could be than wrong

"Sounds" like a registry problem to me. Start Vdub, use Video...Compression menu command, and see if the DivX ;) low and fast motion codecs are listed. If not, DivX 3.11 alpha is not installed, or not installed properly.

Moved to PC forum.

I am getting the same problems, can't play DivX3 files. But i thought the new versions of DivX could decode all previous versions?

Install FFDSHOW, it decodes all MPEG4 codecs like a charm.
