Why would you need both divx and xvid? Aren't those generally redundant
with each other?

I wouldn't generally recommend having two overlapping codecs like that.

What happens if you use the Xvid decoder and not the Divx decoder?
What happens if you use the FFDShow divx/xvid implementation?
What ensures that the right codec is chosen for the decode in question?
Have you / people complaining followed up with DivXNetworks?
What happens if you install a DivX codec update after you install Xvid?

No, I'm "Zach". I simply like solving problems and making people's lives

So, suppose I dowloaded divx 6.8 on windows vista(64 bit) and tried
different videos but still no playback, only the 'open file failed'
error messages on divx player, what do I do now?

Also, how do I install a divx/xvid codec on wmp 11 and media center on
vista?
Anyone that can I help me out there?

Thank you,
P

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you installed
"libavcodec.dll" via some random codec installer. Did you? You might want
to see how your system performs with that codec removed.
