Why do I only have sound when playing AVI files ?

Drebbel · 12-19-05, 03:01 AM

Why do I only have sound when playing AVI files on Windows Mediaplayer. I use the newest version 10.

I would not like to install another mediaplayer, or 500 new codecs, would prefer to solve my problem with a minimal amount of tweaks / new software.

Hopefully one of you can help

Codecs need to be installed

Thanks, but there is no answer.

The thread refers to two websites, but at http://www.codecpack.com/ there is no reference to AVI at all, and same goes for http://www.afterdawn.com/software/vi...rs/ffdshow.cfm

Or am I missing something ?

Ok, the long winded way....

Right Click on the file your try to view as indicated.
The should be a error/whats wrong option, which should bring up a window with the option of web help, that'll open microsofts website on the page of the error and what codec is required to fix it, also a link to the codec will be supplied.

Hope this helps
