Codec ? - The Punters Lounge

ralphie7 · 27-01-2007, 08:04

just downloaded ENEMY AT THE GATES
from Rapidshare extracted the files ok
My problem is it plays but i am not getting vision just sound
I had this a while back with another but Windows posted a message
about downloading a codec.
I went to the link it gave me and downloaded and installed the codec
problem sorted
so how come I am now getting the same problem.
all my other downloads play ok sound and vision.

Do I need another codec ? or is it something else ?

help please

the sound is in English not a foreign language.

what's the file extension? is it .avi?

If so get a program called ffdshow:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow

download aand install that and you should now be able to play just about everything and anything without installing the individual codecs.

g-spot is a handy little tool, and its free here http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

Just load any movie you are having problems with an the program will show you what codec is needed etc.
