DivX Player Corrupting Codecs

[Fuzzykins]

I recently installed the DivX player to batch convert some .mkv files. It ended up corrupting my ENTIRE codec library. Is there anywhere I can replenish this?
All of my FRAPS videos are rendered as "uneditable" in Windows Movie Maker, and in Windows Media Player, they refuse to play. They play just fine in QuickTime. I went in to my downloads and found a Paragon 25 H Al'Akir Kill, and it wouldn't play in WMV either, only in QuickTime. Anyone know what the fuck is going on?

Codecs...? I install one codec, one. CoreAVC, because it just works so well... and I happen to have a license for it. It install's Haali's Media Splitter and I use Media Player Classic - Home Cinema as the player. Pretty much nothing else. What are you converting the files for?

[Fuzzykins]

It concerns none of the converted files. I recorded a FRAPS video with the whole program uninstalled and it still refuses to play.
They also seem to be generating copies of the last 2 seconds of the files by themselves.

Fixed by installing some K Codec pack I found on google.

If the "codecs" used were not installed separately by you, then they came with Windows or another program. Would first run SFC /Scannow and it should find any corrupted Windows file, if any. As for installing DivX, it might have installed it's own codec, and raised priority for it up in the list, but the codec cannot actually play the videos. Quicktime uses it's own codecs typically. I honestly won't touch DivX anything, if I need to convert for some weird reason, I use better tools.

When I installed the new codecs, it found that almost every codec was "corrupted" or "unusable". I just jammed "OKAY". It works now. Lol.
