Use the 32-bit version.

Will do, thank you smile.gif.

So Divx not yet usable in the Amd64 version ?

You need to have 64 bit codecs to work with 64 bit programs. DivX is 32 bit only.

My friend installed Windows XP Pro 64 bit and we can't get Virtualdub 32 or 64 to see any decoders or encoders other than what ships with Windows. No AC3ACM, no LameACM, no DivX or XviD. We've installed 64bit codecs but they still don't show up.

How do you get 32bit programs to see 32bit (or 64bit) codecs? Goldwave can't see the Lame encoder either.

Is there some way to get Windows 64 to run in 32bit mode? This sucks not being able to encode anything on a brand new i7 computer that he spend 2 grand to build.

Do we need to copy all the ACMs and DLLs into both the System32 and the sysWOW64 folders before any programs can find them?

I'm guessing that something went wrong during the installation and you ended up with the 32-bit codecs registered in the 64-bit portion of the Registry. I forget how to fix this, though -- some have already corrected their .INFs.

To install 32-bit codecs using .inf files, start a command prompt and cd to the directory containing the codec. Then run: "c:\windows\syswow64\rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 lameACM.inf"
(replace lameACM.inf with the name of whatever .inf file you're trying to install)
If you don't know how to use the command prompt (like three other people I've already had to deal with today, grrr kids these days I dunno) just try and find an .exe installer. I'm actually pretty surprised DivX isn't working, the latest DivX7 bundle installed fine for me on XP64.

Thanks squid. I did it slighty different from instructions I found on the net and it worked like a charm.

those directions were...

Installing the 32bit version on Windows 64

Extract all the files to a folder

Open up a command prompt (start->run: cmd)

Change directories to sysWOW64 ("cd C:\windows\syswow64")

Type the following (replace example_path with the actual path to the extracted files), then hit enter:
rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 c:\example_path\lagarith.inf

This method can also be used for installing other 32bit codecs such as Huffyuv that install via a .inf file.
