Movies don't play right, I think it's the new DivX codec?

Recently (a few weeks ago) I installed the newest DivX codec, and now Winamp, Windows Media Player, and Media Player Classic all play movies really crappy. Every few seconds, the video will freeze for a second, then go really fast to catch up. It happens on every AVI encoded with DivX, so I'm sure it's the codec. The DivX Player usually plays them right, but it won't go fullscreen properly. VLC will play them right, but the quality is very poor. Anybody else have a similar problem with the newest DivX codec? Do you know where I can download an older version of the codec, or perhaps a media player that doesn't rely on it or can fix these problems?

Also, I downloaded Vista SP1 about the same time, could it be that that's causing the problems?
