| 235405 | 2004-05-09 12:25:00 | look for a program called gspot. You can use this to identify what codecs you require to playback your files. Armed with that information you can then go and download your required codecs (obviously on the better end of a stfw google search) Some people might recommend a codec pack but I'm not a fan of that idea due to the fact (and history) that codec packs tend to cause more trouble than good. It's better practice to just get the codecs you need as you need them. Alternatively you can just use VLC which is reasonably codec independant... if your normal media player cant play a file, use VLC. If VLC cant play it, it's screwed beyond repair! http://www.videolan.net/ |
