It's a DivX problem. You should have mentioned that you encoded a DivX file in your message. I believe I have read that this is caused by not having an up to date DivX codec. Download the latest and greatest DivX codec and it should fix it. You really should not use Nero to encode your video. Nero does a poor job of encoding. Another option, if you know what you are doing, is to use Virtual Dub to flip the image right side up prior to encoding it. I just happened to know that this is a known DivX encoding problem. Your message said so little about what you did that if I had not known this, you probably wouldn't have received a reply at all. Just remember that the less information you give about what you did, the less likely anyone will be able to help you.
