'''Note:''' Many XviD-encodes have a "DIVX" or "DX50"-4cc (for compatibility) and are thus often wrongly recognized as DivX4 or DivX5. In GSpot, you may find an additional 4cc displayed near the DivX one, for example "DIVX/xvid" or "DX50/xvid". In such cases, please always set the codec-info on AniDB to XviD. | '''Note:''' Many XviD-encodes have a "DIVX" or "DX50"-4cc (for compatibility) and are thus often wrongly recognized as DivX4 or DivX5.

==Your version doesn't match the hashes (CRC) or is corrupted - what to do?== | |||
File-entries on AniDB are supposed to be useful for a larger group of users: One of them adds the entry and many others can use it (by adding it to their list). | |||
===Adding wide-spread corrupted files=== | |||
An entry for a corrupted file may still be useful for others as long as it's likely that more people have the exact same corrupted file as you have. (For example if one source sent the corrupted version to many people.) | |||
If - and only if - this is the case, you can add the file normally to AniDB, marking it as "CRC invalid" and/or "Quality: Corrupted" if there are visible/audible errors in the file. | |||
===Adding "personal" corrupted files=== | |||
If your specific (corrupted) version of the file isn't listed on AniDB, for example because of some hard- or software-problem on your side or because you manually edited the files, in most cases you should not add them to AniDB, because they serve no purpose for other users. | |||
Don't worry - you can still list such files properly in your mylist. For example: You have a corrupted version of group X's release. Navigate to the corresponding episode where the regular, uncorrupted of group X's release is listed and click on the "add file ()" icon. On the next page, you can select the "Type: corrupted version/invalid crc" so that your mylist-entries properly indicate which version you have. | |||
If there's no crc-valid version of group X added for the release you have, consider adding the episodes' [[generic files]] to your list instead. | |||
