XvidCore.dll is a crucial part of the "XviD" or "DivX" group of video codecs. A 'codec' is a type of file structure which allows your computer to run certain types of movies in very high quality, and they require a lot of files and features to keep them running as smoothly and effectively as possible.
The reason why you are seeing XvidCore.dll errors is because of several possible causes. The most common reason for this error is that the DLL file it needs is either missing or damaged. This makes Windows unable to read the file and leads it show you the error, informing you to fix it.
The first thing you could do to fix the problem is download the latest DivX or XviD codecs from the Internet. Googling these terms will show you the websites that you can download the free codecs from. If you download the various codecs onto your PC and then install them, it should make your computer able to find the file it needs again, as a fresh copy will be placed onto your system by the install.
Installing a fresh codec should fix this problem, but you can also have virus infections which corrupt the DLL file and a corrupt registry can cause the error as well. If reinstalling the codec does not work, you should try downloading an antivirus program and a registry cleaner and then scanning your PC with both of them. This will clean out any potential infections or damage inside your PC, and should resolve the error for you.
