Vista Media Center codec issues

Is this on _all_ of your video files, or one specific file? What format is
(are) that (those) file(s)?
Have you tried the new version of MyMovies?

It seems to be all video files, but I tend to only play XVid videos at the
moment so I may be wron. I'll test a WMV tonight.

My understanding is that MyMovies is not Vista compatible as yet?

The latest one, 2.11, is Vista compatible. You have to jump thru a few hoops
first - download and install .NET 1.1, then download and install its service
pack. 2005 has those but Vista doesn't...

For DivX videos I've had better luck with FFDShow than with XVid.
