432701 2006-02-22 08:11:00 I,ve tried nero showtime, winamp, and nero showtime. I'd forgotten I even had quicktime, never had a use for it. But thanks it works fine. I'd still like to fix media player though, I want to be able to convert to other formats and both nero & TMPGenc seem to share decoders with MP10.
No luck with Microsoft, lot of similarish problems but no fixes that work for me.
Wish I hadn't updated media player now

432703 2006-03-16 02:35:00 For what it's worth, I get exactly the same problem. The AVI plays the clip with sound but a black screen. Options in the faq that has been mentioned (searching for a codec) only work if the clip actually fails. WMP10 is quite happy thinking it is displaying the thing correctly. I would like to get it working because I want to use the Windows Movie Maker tool to stick 'em together. Would be keen to hear if you gat a result.

cheers

432704 2006-03-16 07:13:00 Hmmm....Whats the chance that the camera is making an AVI file that requires the commercial Mpeg2 codec (usually for playback of DVD's) to playback the file?

Grab a PowerDVD demo, If you can then view the files, it was indeed the codec...

432705 2007-04-10 00:17:00 just an update, been quite a while I know, but somewhere along the way MP10 magically fixed itself, probably one of those "security" updates dugimodo (138)
