624395 2007-12-25 05:02:00 Im trying to play a movie but WMP and Nero says I dont have the right codecs.

Soooooo .. Ive been googling etc .. and found a program called gspot :groan: which is supposed to tell u what you need for the file. I didnt get that far, cos I was also able to look at what codecs I have and it APPEARS that some of mine have a problem.

Is it possible to correct/repair them? If I update them, does that repair them, where do I update them?

And happy holidays guys .. the beers are on me :D

624397 2007-12-25 08:58:00 xvid is the one I always fall back to, open source codecs. beama (111)
624398 2007-12-25 09:27:00 what is the filetype? (.flv - .mov - .avi - etc) bevy121 (117)
624399 2007-12-25 09:40:00 Only thing I've ever needed to use was Xvid, and for a particular dvdrip, an AC3 codec as well

I'd try Xvid first, it's a very commonly used codec and the one that most people don't have

You can download the latest one from here: www.xvid.org
