438022 2006-03-14 08:44:00 a mate of mine just gave me a heap of LOST eps he had d/l off the net (love that show lol) when i try and play them in windows media player it says down the bottom error downloading codec and then only plays the sound and no picture. (wont play in other video viewing programs either). berry1 (9984)
438023 2006-03-14 09:19:00 Your missing the required codecs to play the video / sound. Its not installed so you need to install it.

Get the terribly named program GSpot Codec Information Appliance found here (www.headbands.com) and open your video file.

It will tell you the type of codec used and whether its installed or needs to be installed
