.avi vids

I just downloaded an avi video file. Normally this type of video works for me without a problem. When I try to start this one however, I only get the audio. I have xvid installed. I tried windows media player, quicktime player, realplayer, divXplayer and I even downloaded BSplayer for this. They all give the same error (unknown codec: xvid) Even though I have Xvid installed. What the hell am I supposed to do?

thanks in advance.

I would suggest using this.....

I have yet to find a video file that I cannot play

I usually avoid codec packs at all costs. Having too many codecs can lead to some bad problems.

I use Video Inspector http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?vtb

It tells me which codec the video is using and unlike G-Spot (another codec detector) it has a button that will send you to a download link of said codec to install.

This worked for me. Thanks a lot


oh, and The Bourne Ultimatum is an awesome movie. Go see it.

Why go to the cinema when I have a full DVD version at home

dunno. I didn't go to the cinema either, the bourne ultimatum was the .avi file I needed help for :P

VLC player ftw!! VLC player plays pretty much all without the need to additional codec packs. Small file, and very easy to use.

Hope you own the Bourne Ultimatun DVD
