When I first installed SCP, and the SCP compatible movies, I got audio, but no video (to be exact, I got a black screen). I could, however, play the movies in Windows Media Player, or Nero's video player.
I downloaded, and installed Gspot, and was unable to render the videos. Gspot identified the movies as being done using Xvid, so I downloaded, and installed, the Xvid codec. After installing, Gspot could render the videos. Now, however, I get the following error message, when the latest CVS build (1 March 2006) tries to play a cutscene:

PlayWnd Sample
FAILED(hr=0x887601c2)in pMC->Run() (DShow error)

I did not get this error message before installing the Xvid codec. Is there another codec I should be using?

Do other builds play it? Which version of xVid did you install?

[thorbin]

I installed the latest version of Xvid (version 1.1), direct from the Xvid website.

I have used 2 versions of the CVS builds (the 2/6/2006 build, and the 3/1/2006 build). Without Xvid, I get audio from the cutscene movies, but no video. With Xvid 1.1 installed, I get the before mentioned error.

I get audio from the cutscene movies, but no video.

This is a bug in DivX.  Uninstall the DivX toolbar and it should work.

Or, uninstall DivX and just have Xvid. Xvid handles DivX rather well.

I get audio from the cutscene movies, but no video.

Heh.  I get video from the cutscene movies, but no audio.  I've tried both ffdshow and Xvid so far, and many builds since January to March... anyone have a suggestion of what else to try?  The audio in the avi is just mp3...
