no video pls

Please help. When I open my Media Center, I get the message "Files needed to display video are not installed or not working correctly. Please restart Media Center or restart your computer" I have done both but get the same message. I can play music but no video.

This alert can also be displayed if you don't have valid MCE drivers for you tuner/video capture card. Can you play a DVD in MCE? If not can you play a DVD in Media Player?

I also have the same issue. I can play DVD's ok using MP11 but when I attempt to play an avi, I just get sound, no video.

If you're looking for an x64 DIVX decoder, I know at least Koepi has released one.
