Problems playing .avi files as movies.

[r0b0t1]

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,

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/
