    Get Gspot, open the video, find out what codec you need, download and install it.
    Most likely AC3.

    If it is a DVD then the video will be MPEG2 and the audio will be AC3 or DTS ( I guess it could also be mp2 or LPCM).

    Try Media Player Classic. It has built in decoders for MPEG2, AC3, DTS, etc.

    Doesn't sound like a DVD to me though. But that is what you asked, so ...

    If on the other hand you downloaded an avi, as said the audio is I think 2 channel AC3 and the video would be XviD.
