I've successfully downloaded various movies with Kazaa. However, when I try playing them with MS Windows Media Player I only get the audio - no video. I have no idea how to solve the problem. Can someone help me?
Well check to see if you have the proper codecs installed. Gspot Codec Search http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/gspot.cfm
Thanks I got the following information: Video Format Codec IS Installed (no details available) Audio Format Codec IS Installed (GSpot has found that the Frauenhofer IIS MPEG layer-3 codec (adavnced) will decompress this audio format. DirectShow was UNABLE to render the movie overall however, see the DirectShow for more details DirectShow Render Error number: 0x00040242 Error name: VFW_S_Partial_Render Full Error Text: Some of the streams in this movie are in an unsupported format What can I do? Thanks in advance
Try this codec first!! http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/divx_3_codec.cfm
Dear Dela Thanks for getting me started. In the meantime I went through several other chat forms looking for a similar posting. I found several people posting this problem but most went unanswered. I did however, find somebody who solved the problem by simply installing Media Player 9 and DIVX Pro 5.0.3. I did it and it now my movies work!
