AVI container not working on standalone player

[AQUAR]

You could see if that is the case by remuxing the 2.6.5 created "avi" with avidemux 2.5.6.
It is interesting to know these things.

done.
encoded with xvid4 in avi container, using 2.6.6, does not play... "resolution not supported". mediainfo sez res is 512 x 1145656 920 (just like that, with the space).
ran that file thru 2.5.6, copy option, saved in avi container, now it plays. mediainfo sez res is 512 x 400.

Could you share a 4 sec sample on which mediaingo says resolution unsupported ?*

seems i am causing my own problem.
mediainfo is reporting the proper 400 x 512 resolution on the clip made with 2.6.6 until i use nic's 4cc changer to change the 4cc from DIVX to XVID.
after i change the 4cc i get the wonky resolution, and changing the 4cc back won't fix it.
sorry to have troubled you nice folks with this. i appreciate all the help!
if it's of any use, i can post an "after" clip with the wonky resolution.
