[QUOTE="snarlyboy, post: 88863, member: 22574"] [b]Fixed!!! :-d[/b] Thanks very much Taipan, that was the problem - I'm not sure how Divx got installed or if I had it already and its priority was increased, and I didn't really consciously know that Xvid was the superior GPL'ed codec for those files. However your suggestions were right on the money and I very much appreciate the time you took to test and let me know your results as it worked for me. In case anyone else has the same problems I describe above these are the steps I took based on Taipan's suggestions: * Installed latest XVid codec from [url]http://www.xvid.org[/url] * grabbed Radlight Filter Manager 1.4 from [url]http://www.videohelp.com[/url] * Ran it and followed this tutorial at: [url]http://thehtpcrecord.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39[/url] in order to set the DirectShowFilter for Divx to MERIT_NORMAL and the XVid codec's property to MERIT_PREFERRED * Rebooted machine and all works beautiful again with Skipping and Scrubbing back and forward. Hope making it a bit more explicit helps others who might have this problem - it was driving me nuts for weeks - I think a secret update from a Divx manager updated the system to Divx 6.4 and must have automatically changed the prioirties for these DirectShow filters/decoders... thanks again Taipan!! :) [/QUOTE]
