Losing window focus when playing divx movies

~)( · 29th September 2005, 09:01

Hi everyone, I'm having issues with winamp losing window focus whenever I start playing a movie. If I have winamp in focus and press 'b' to get the next movie, it will start playing the movie, but I can't use any of the keyboard shortcuts as I lost window focus to winamp. I believe the source of the problem may be in the codec which I noticed that puts an icon in my tray.

I'm running Windows XP Pro w/ SP2, fully patched; Winamp v5.1, and the latest version of the Divx codec (www.divx.com).

Thanks

All I can suggest is that you uninstall DivX and install/use ffdshow for DivX codec/filter instead. Works perfectly for me :-)
