Hey, my 'puter recently took a dump at work, and the 'puter nerd basically reformatted my flex capacitor and got it acting normal again. But, I can’t get the movies that my Digital camera takes to play in anything. The camera spits out .avi’s, and I can get sound, but no video. I have Windows Media player and Real player. I really don’t care which one I use because it is only my work 'puter, but what plugin’s do I need to be able to watch video? Can someone post a link? ---

heres something really easy you can try…try resizing the “media player” window that pops up…just shrink it a little. I have seen issues where the video won’t show because it’s too large…thats the first thing I would try before getting all geeky on it. -Cheater- ---

OK, installed the divx codec player thingy, and this is what I get: This file contains unknown data. The video file you are opening includes video data that is not recognized by the Divx player. The file contains the following type of data: Video Data: FOURCC Code “MJPG” You may need to install a new video codec on your computer to watch this video. Phags… ---

You’re just looking for attention you whiner!!! 😛 You might wanna check out Canon’s site, they mmight have the drive there. Otherwise it looks like it needs the mp4 codec which you can just search for through google. ---
