To watch movies in good quality, a user of a personal computer needs not only a video file of excellent quality, but also a set of codecs installed in the operating system. Such sets are freely available on the Internet, and downloading them will not be a problem. But experienced users have found that most of the codecs presented in this set are not used by video players.
Necessary
XviD codec
Instructions
Step 1
In practice, it becomes clear that you only need to install XviD to view the latest film industry news. The exception is films that are encoded with the H.264 codec. Therefore, many users have a question about the correct installation of this codec. Installing XviD is not a complicated process. To do this, you need to download the installation file for this codec. Run this file (file with the extension ".exe"). Agree with all the actions that the installer suggests doing. In the last window that opens, click Finish.
Step 2
Also, this codec is packed into an archive. There is no installation file with the extension ".exe" in this archive. In this case, you need to unpack the contents of the archive into the "C: WINDOWSsystem32" folder. After restarting the operating system, this codec will be automatically installed.
Step 3
If you will be using this codec as an encoder program, it is worth updating all its settings. The XviD codec has an advantage over the same well-known DivX 5 codec. Among the advantages is a large number of settings for the first codec. And the plus and minus of this codec is its open source. Any programmer can change the code of this program. This often caused controversy between programmers, because one assembly of this codec did not work with a movie that was encoded by another assembly.
