Am I the only one who gets nothing but a big green screen, followed by a "WMP has encountered an error and needs to close" message?

Mine computer managed to play it though it was heavily corupted. I suppose that is what happens when you try to compress a video over six minutes long to 16.5 MB with Divx or Xvid.

you have to download the xvid codec first.

same with the other person, your video player is trying to decode with divx. download xvid codec, it works fine. i know, i've tried it on many different computers.

I have that and use it to encode my videos. You need to raise the quality. What you have there is a bad encode.

BTW, even if this person didn't have the codec their player wouldn't crash like that. However Scintilla does have Xvid as well.

I'd just like to be the third person to point out that this is a bad encode.

there should only be a little bit of pixelation during action scenes due to low bitrate like i mentioned before. not corrupt data. i've played it on friends' computers dl'ed from the exact same URL. *shrugs* i dunno what the problem is.
