I didn't notice a huge improvement in VLC after installing cpu_fix; there was one, but it didn't fix the issue completely. It's tolerable now, but it seems as if VLC makes the audio chase the video, rather than the video playback rate being controlled by the unadjusted audio. Mostly noticeable on music.
I was mainly pointing out that HybridDivx is far from useless, and it isn't Mediaplayer's fault for being unable to play certain files. With the right codecs and extractors, Mediaplayer could perform as well as or better than VLC, and isn't monolithic.

These problems are down to a fux0red system timer. Installing cpu_fix, even if your CPU is under the 2.1Ghz mark required, fixes 99% of VLCs pitching issues. The remaining 1% are damaged files, particularly those with QDM2 audio.

Media player isn't obsolete; the problem is the difficulty involved in writing new extractors for the R5 Media Kit.
As for "ancient [codecs] that nobody uses", MPEG-4 video is still the most popular video codec, which plays just fine using HybridDivx/3ivx/etc. The second most popular codec seems to be WMV3. You can't even play WMV3 content in VLC yet, so no advantage to VLC.
There's sometimes some sound sync issues due to a bug in the Media Kit / extractors, but as long as you don't seek the video it often works okay. VLC is less troublesome here, but it too has some weird issues with sync -- poor audio pitch control while it tries to lock up to the video.
As for container formats, the most popular seems to be AVI, followed by WMV. The Media Kit already has an AVI extractor, but it doesn't have a WMV extractor -- VLC is the only way to play those. On the other hand, a lot of WMVs are encoded using WMV3, which won't work on VLC yet.
Bear in mind that codecs (like HybridDivx) make themselves available to everything on the system. Thus when installed, you can import MPEG-4 files into Personal Studio, record them using Capture, etc. Unlike VLC which is a completely monolithic, Windows-like application, with enough options to make Bill at Redmond exceptionally proud.
Haiku will have a Media Kit which is "easy" to develop codecs and extractors for, thus VLC shouldn't be necessary.

The R5 media player is completely obsolete and will play no new video files what so ever (codecs that are new, but ancient ones that nobody uses will play). It is completely safe to delete it from your system, as it's useless. All new video codecs/encoders for beos are a futile attempt to make it work with R5 media player and other encoders, but as usual they can never test anything themselves before actually putting it on BeBits.
To play all the other video/audio files, VLC for BeOS works just fine, and does a good job at it.
I recommend downloading this every week, since new versions come out.
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/beos/
After you've unpacked the zip file (get the one with the newest date) then use the app SuperStrip
http://www.bebits.com/app/1776
and drag vlc executeable and all the libs onto superstrip. He will not only drastically reduce the size of the files, but he also makes a previously slow vlc start up extremely fast this time.

.mp4 (mpeg 4 part 14) and .wmv (asf) containers aren't supported by BeOS. File containers and codecs are seperate, independent thing, and the codecs supported by this only work with BeOS-supported containers - avi, mov, etc.

Sorry, you weren't on BeShare when I tried this out. ;) I ran the full install script and restarted media services, even tried rebooting, but it still says "unable to play" (no codec) in the R5 MediaPlayer. I checked the install directories and the codecs are there...this happens on anything besides older mpgs, which had already worked before. I.e., no .wmvs or .mp4s that I have seem to work. Any ideas?

Hello Das Jott,
Perhaps you got something a little mixed up in the installation. After you restart media services it should work. Definitely a reboot should clear things up to working. If you still have problems perhaps you have an unsupported OS like exp/dano. If not, please come to beshare to ask in person.

I downloaded this codec, but my MediaPlayer although doesnt't play Divx- files at all. I thought this codec could make it happen to watch those mpeg and Divx things on BeOS MediaPlayer too, not only on VLC where it works great.?!?

Gah! I've installed these and no longer have any sound from my DivX / MPEG4 films! They used to work under BeOS... I've restarted the Media Server, rebooted, unzipped my backup I made... I did this to fix the "Sound starts from start when skipping bug" (now I know how to fix it.. *grr*) - but I can't get any sound back! Help!

No, it's _not_ normal :P
It's a bug in the Media Kit, and so every app using it will have this bug. that's also why VLC isn't affected.

If you right click you'll find an option called Divx ;-) seek under the hacks menu. This will work. (very slowly!) Be patient! depending on your machine it could take a couple minutes to see to the end of a 2 hour movie, for example. Don't use the other hack. (BTW this isn't a codec issue...)

I'm not exactly aware of what version they are using on the developer edition since some sources have told me that they change from the rather archaic divx decoder. However, unless they rolled their own (extremely unlikely) you can uninstall whichever divx drivers were formerly installed simply by using the backup scripts from HybridDivx. This will zip up existing drivers into zip files that you can delete if you so choose. Please note that the uninstall scripts for HybridDivx are written specifically to only uninstall the versions of the files that were distributed with HybridDivx.

I use this developer version 1.0 and it has divx installed but since i haven't installed them, i don't have the instructions to uninstall them...
anyone did the uninstallation? which files do I have to delete?
thanks...
(btw you can also use the videolan app, the latest version gave very good results with mpeg's, the output quality was *very* high, didn't use it for divx's yet, tho...)

If your system seems to be dropping frames you should try using NiftyPlayer. In fact, in any case you should use NiftyPlayer. MediaPlayer can lose sync even when it doesn't lose frames. If you are having problems with overlay there's a version of nplay floating around on beshare that can help...

If you are having problems with your particular install of HybridDivx feel free to contact me via email. (it's on the hybrid divx page and for lazy people I put it on this comment too) Or, even better, drop by on beshare for live, real-time support! (almost any time) It's not like I'm dead after all. :-) And I know how hard it can be to bring oneself to read those readme's and double click on a script that's at the toplevel and click a bunch of okay buttons. ;-)

Heh heh heh.. just cause you can't read the readme or use it right don't go knocking my HybridDivx. If your divx don't play it's probably because they are encoded wrong, or you are using the wrong audio decoder. Go whine somewhere else. :-)

Hey guys... it sorta destroyed any chance of sync I had... think it will be fixed soon? This version wont sync video to audio at all on my system anymore. I tried Nplay - Mplay - MediaPlaye- They all lose sync in the same way. The video is simply too fast!

Simnple install and perfect playback. I have encoded all of my movies myself using Gknot, and they all playback perfectly (except no overlay support in Be for my TNT2)...other than that (which isn't the fault of the codec) this is absolutely great. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

o 85 audio is Windows Media Audio. There isn't an audio codec for WMA on BeOS. WMA is a proprietary format. If you want to watch your movie in beos (or even in windowz) I recommend you re-encode the audio track to MP3/divx audio.
As for your DIV3 problem I recommend you restart the media services, or reboot. If this doesn't work, your install of BeOS is seriously broken some how. (perhaps you are running some illegal version? :-) )

o 85 is Windows Media Audio. there does not exist a codec on beos that will play this audio. you would have to re-encode your audio (no need to re-encode video) in order to play it in MediaPlayer, for example.
as for your DIV3 problem, I suggest that you restart your media server :-)

Jess is right on the money with recommending nplay. (NiftyPlayer) MediaPlayer has some sync issues, even when it doesn't drop frames. Also, you should try the other audio codec. Sometimes, both audio codecs work but one works just a little bit better.

unless your running a p133 with 32mb of ram you'll still have audio sync problems - I built a athlon 1600 XP with 256mb of DDR for a customer & still had sync problems. The fix is down load nplay & make it your defualt media player for divx & mpeg video. I have a k6-2 550 with 768mb of ram & have sync probs left & right with a have decent size mpeg when using media player, but nplay I'm fine.
