royco Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Happened to me also, I found out that i was trying to play an avi file compressed by DIVX. So i just downloaded and installed their codec(u can get it from download.com). I couldnt play DVDs either so I installed Power DVD( 3rd party dvd player) and it somehow installed the codec for media player to play DVDs...and there is also another compression codec XVID, u might want to go to their site and download the codec as well.Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Windows media player can use any codec that is properly written and installed by a third party application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 A thing you can do: If you don't have any clue at all of what codec might be used in the video fil you can always download a super codec pack like Nimo's codec pack. Then you can be relatively sure of that you have all the codecs needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
