    Try loading the file with VirtualDubMod, do Stream__Stream List and look at what kind of audio stream it has (probably AC3 and you don't have an AC3 decoder).
    Probably you'll need to -encode that to MP3 (HeadAC3he, BeSweet) then to re-add to the video with, again, VirtualDubMod: do Stream__Stream List, Disable the old, Add the new one; set Video__Direct Stream Copy (avoid a video recompression, keep it the same quality) and do File___Save AVI (F7).
    I really cannot understand GSpot. Sometime I loaded a corrupted movie and it said me 'all well'. Maybe that movie player application didn't load the codec GSpot found on your PC...

    4.3 No picture, I get no video when playing DivX movies
    i did not typ this but i found this site were you can get the AC3 codec to play it on any player all(http://www.divxmovies.com/faq/#4.3) thanks agian

    To find out which video codec you are missing you should download GSpot and open the movie you are having problems playing. The program will give you information about what codecs are needed to play the movie and if you have them installed on your computer. If you look under the video format section you will see information about the video stream. If you don't have a compatible video codec installed you should be able to use the FOURCC codec to find and download the needed video codec in the following list:

    Compression Audio codec
    MPEG Layer-3 Codec MP3 codec
    Unknown (tag 55) MP3 codec
    Unknown (tag 85)

    MP3 codec
    DivX ;-) Audio Compressor DivX ;-) audio
    Unknown (tag 161) DivX ;-) audio
    Unknown (tag 353)

    DivX ;-) audio
    AC3 Codec AC3 codec
    Unknown (tag 2000) AC3 codec
    Unknown (tag 8192)

    AC3 codec
    Ogg Vorbis Codec OGG codec
    Unknown (tag 674F) OGG codec
    Unknown (tag 26447)

    OGG codec

    thanks i hope this helps others
