.avi files

conjon

when i d/l a .avi file (video clip), I can hear sound but cannot get any picture :mad: :mad: I've tried with five different players, with the same results. Would anyone know what the problem is, and any fixes.

Thanks,

Matthewthebig

you need the codec

divx is a good place to start

tman

just snag the klite codec pack.
it has everything you need to play the most common media types. (grab the mega codec pack if you can find it. quicktime and real alternative are seckseh)

tinkerbell

klite codec pack or divx total pack, you're just missing a codec that's all!

unkel

As the guys said. Download it here

Doh just realised. I should have said guys & gals. Apologies to tinkerbell and shame on me

What's that law called again that describes how male posters assume that the other posters are male also?

What you need a player that has lots of codecs already built in. Something like VideoLAN.

If your looking for a nice and basic player, with problems like above chances of arrising again are next to none, I suggest using VideoLan as the_syco suggested. Tried and tested - and given my kiss of approval! :P

If those solutions dont work, post back and maybe we can help further

Exactly don't bother with the Klite codec pack VideoLan will play practically anything including the violin.

Thank you all. Will try both.
