| 519912 | 2007-01-28 00:55:00 | Hi, I just tried to play an AVI file type on Windows Media Player 11 and it came up with the usual cannot find codec for this file. How do I fix this? Thanks. ~Tracer-Bullet |

There are codec packs you can get but I have found that most, if not all, of those type of avi files will play with the Xvid codec. Get it from here (www.koepi.org) The other option is to use VLC from http://www.videolan.org/ That plays pretty much anything you throw at it! |

As suggested though, VLC will play most anything and if you don't like that, get something like K-Lite codec pack and that should sort the missing codec problem out. |

| 519919 | 2007-08-11 21:09:00 | VLC will play just about anything, I have found this the most versatile. Plays quicktime,divx,wma,mps the works | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 519920 | 2007-08-11 22:03:00 | That would be because it's not Apple right? :D It is actually because it doesn't install a player... Just means more unnecessary applications to clutter a PC... :rolleyes: VLC will play just about anything, I have found this the most versatile. Plays quicktime,divx,wma,mps the works Yes, VLC will play basically anything (even without the codecs), but I have found that it is not really a media player to the standard of something like WMP... mainly due to lack of media library :2cents: |
