Toonhead83 8 years 11 months ago Posts: 252	Has anybody came across avi videos files not playing due to an unrecognized codec or file type for windows xp? I'm sure I have the recent codecs and the divx codec, and still nothing. Anyone has any tips or solutions? Thanks

or if they are Divx Avi Files, you maybe using an older version of Divx.

RaZZu 8 years 11 months ago Posts: 443	First you need to open the file with gspot to see what codec is needed http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm if you dowload Real Alternative http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm QuickTime Alternative http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm and FFDshow http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm It will cover 99% of all of the video files out there. If you don't have the required codec and you did install FFDshow then find a site that has the specific codec and install. Stay away from codec packs like Nemo or any of the packs. They will usualy add duplicate codecs and can cause alot of problems. You may also have conflicting codes. use gspot to tell you what codec your computer is trying to use. Then use DirectShow Filter Manager http://www.softella.com/dsfm/index.en.htm and remove the codec that your computer was trying to use. having too many codecs is just as bad or maby worse than not having the right ones. sometimes your windows media player codes get corrupted and need to be reloaded http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Codec_Installation_Package_for_Windows_Media_Player_7_8_9_10.htm These should be all of the tools you need to fix your video problems
	And now for something completely different................
