VideoLAN

If you read my previous AVI trouble thread, you'd know I've been having problems with getting the green screen.

I tried every codec imaginable for DivX and WMP. I also tried using Quicktime and Real Player. Nothing seemed to work.

So I searched about green screen on google, and found a forum that was discussing the same problem I was having.

They had all these methods to fix it, that I tried, and none worked.

Then I read this post about a program called VideoLAN.

I checked it out:

The VideoLAN project targets multimedia streaming of MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX files, DVDs, digital satellite channels, digital terrestial television channels and live videos on a high-bandwidth IPv4 or IPv6 network in unicast or multicast under many OSes. VideoLAN also features a cross-plaform multimedia player, VLC, which can be used to read the stream from the network or display video read locally on the computer under all GNU/Linux flavours, all BSD flavours, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, Solaris, QNX, Familiar Linux...

Sure enough, no more green screen. I reccommend you get this instead of getting all those different codecs etc, it works like a charm

Most of the time if you were getting the green screen, the file is an Xvid file, not divX. I would bet that codec has Xvid integrated with it.
