Okay, I tried installing CCCP to play .mkv files. Then I try to open an AVI file- fail. No picture. Not even an area of greyness in the middle of the screen. Just black. No sound. I install K-lite Codec pack which allows me to play .mkv But still no AVi, with the same symptoms. I download DivX Codec. Still the same symptoms. I download XviD with the same symptoms... The file I'm trying to open is City of Men[2007]DvDrip[Portuguese]-FXG Any help would be appreciated.
According to the torrent notes, it uses the xvid codec. Download gspot http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ Open the avi file with this tool and post the result in this forum.
Okay....it plays it without sound in its tiny frame. It says: Status: Codec installed for both Audio + video. But when I go to file play with associated player I get the same results. Boo hoo
Download the VLC player. Does it play in there? http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ The point about Gspot is that it may help to diagnose your existing problem...
Hm....plays fine. Plays fine too with the DIVX player...But why won't it play on Windows Media Player?
This is the third time I mentioned it. Open the file in Gspot and see what it says about rendering the file.
