I having problems playing back some AVI files. The Player appears to run normally, a DIVX logo appears but the screen remains blank and there is no audio. It continues this way for the full length of the movie.
I have taking the advice of the first message in this section and removed all codecs, and installed all the recommended ones.
G-Spot tells me that the require Codec is DivX5 and it is present. It will render the files too.

Have you installed the newest release of the divx codec?
Or have you tried using FFDShow to playback your movies?
Life is but a dream...so wake me up already!!!

Wait a sec i should have realized this from the beginning.
1. Open it up in Gspot
2. What AUDIO codec does it need?
3. Click the render button, what is the "Audio Path"?

Are you by any chance trying to play a movie downloaded from a filesharing program such as Kazaa? Kazaa in particular has a lot of fake movies, named to something popular but turns out to be just black screen and no audio. In other words your codecs and stuff is playing the video fine, its just the video is not what you were expecting!

The first two are definately fake films, they are just black screen and no audio like u say. There are fakes on other networks too, like on gnutella2 u can get films which consist solely of popping and hissing noises and no video. Your best bet is to use the preview feature of your p2p client after a small chunk has downloaded so that you can confirm you are downloading what you expect.
If you are using kazaa media desktop i recommend that you remove it and use a program like lavasoft ad-aware (its free) to remove the spyware it installs. Use kazaa lite k++, its a much better version of the same software with no spyware and reduces the amount of popups u will get. And if u make a habit of downloading and sharing copyrighted media then you will want to use the IP blocker program which comes with k++ so you dont get done by the RIAA / FBI / Sony / Universal Studios etc etc.
OT: Have u tried bittorrent? its better for downloading movies, u typically get 40-80kbps, if you use Shareaza as your bittorrent client then u can preview the file too.
