Quick question about AVI files…for some reason my computer plays mpeg and wmv video files fine, but when I play an AVI file there is no picture, only sound. Ive tried playing in realplayer and windows media player and both do the same thing. Pisses me off because i dowloaded a 700mb movie with DIAL UP and now cant watch it.
Codecs.
You need codecs. Do a search for them.
alright…thanks. downloading now.
i downloaded one off of BearShare but it didn’t fix it. Are there any other places or maybe a web site to download codecs from?
Chances are if you are having issues playing avi files it’s in DivX format. It can be obtained at divx.com, just get the free package, remove what you don’t need when installing it.
This one works for every avi I’ve ever encountered.
thanks guys :tup: …i’ll try both
