Unhappy Divx or Media Player

Here is the problem :

I play a lot of video (manga) in Media player (6.4 or 8.1)
BUT some videos are inversed...like viewing them in a mirror AND the upside down...
I hav reinstalled the divx 3.11 4.12...many times in any orders and no changes...
?!?
Any idea?

Solution 1.
You can
move the file DivX_c32.ax from the windows/system or windows/system32
directory to another place (any directory). It will make the movies
playback normally but you will lose the ability to make changes to the
brightness/contrast and CPU settings of the codec since they are handled
by that file. It might be possible to put the file back for adjustments
and then move it again to see movies the right way.

In case you are wondering what the file actually does it is a DirectShow
filter which does some processing to the image before it displays it in
Windows Media Player so removing it will only remove those small changes
along with the ability to change settings. You will probably not notice
it (except for upside down playback being fixed).

Solution 2
Another solution is to use The Playa to watch DivX movies instead of
using Windows Media Player.

Solution 3
We have heard about a third solution which involes changing the registry entry
\"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Scrunch\\WMVideo\\Vertical Flip Packed YUV\" but haven't been able to test it.

Excellent...Thanks a lot...

The registry key does NOT exist on my PC (XP pro).
But thanks anyway.
