Problems playing .avi files as movies.

Well, I have a rather large movie file I want to play, but its a .avi file I got from a torrent. When I double click, it only plays sound. Any fixes? I have no idea whats happening with it.




PS. When I click on it, I mean it only plays the sound, and not the frames.

 

it might be the wrong codecs,
usually its a dixv avi codec, i use divx for every movie/video lol

 

Yes, you need to download a codec for the video to run.

Web Player and Webmaster SDK downloads:

• http://go.divx.com/plugin/download/

​

DivX for Windows bundle

• http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/

try downloading codec from the internet.search at yahoo.com.then you can enjoy the movie =) the same situation happened to me long ago =p

 

Or you coulld just download VLC.
