Hi guys,

I downloaded a video on divx, but when it gets to a certain point in the video, it always crashes wmp, is there a way to fix this?

you may have to redownload that file. it maybe corrupted or something.
but I'm really not sure...since you were able to play in the first place.
Have you tried to open it on other media Players?

You might not have the proper codex for it. I sometimes get that problem when i run a new movie and haven't updated in a while.

vlc plays everything that is a video, even better than Zoomplayer (which is better from the functional point of view, zoom, aspect ratio etc.) and by far better with video than M$ mdia player. in the older versions of vlc some mpegs turned into a diashow that i had to play them with powerdvd, but that seems to be fixed. .mov files from quicktime are the onliest filetypes, that can make probs with vlc sometimes afaik. But anyways, i advice you have them all, vlc for generic video, powerdvd for dvd and videocd, winamp or xamp for mp3, zoomplayer for videos with the wro9ng aspect ratio, realplayer for streamings (far better than mediaplayer streams) and quicktime/itunes for quicktime streams or .mov
Its the same with media-files as it is with graphics, you use the best programs from the one company together with the best the other has to offer like with photoshop for pixels and Corel for vector...
