Looks like you're missing a few codecs..

Hi

Not sure what codec's are, but I clicked on your link and downloaded it, hasn't worked though:o

Try this pack http://www.filehippo.com/download_klite_mega_codec/ or try this to play the video if it still doesn't work http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc/

Remember you have to open the codec pack after you download it;)

Or use VLC. Link for download - http://www.videolan.org/mirror-geo.php?file=vlc/0.9.6/win32/vlc-0.9.6-win32.exe

Aye sounds like a few missing codecs. Codecs are basically bit of software that can decode the original video data however it has been recorded, and make it into a usable format that media player can understand. Kind of like a translator

As previous posters have said, when you download the codec files you will need to install them. They usually have a little ReadMe document with them giving full details. Just, like any file you download, scan them with a virus scanner before you open them, jsut to be safe

Files thieved off the internet? You'll need XVid then. It uses the same file extension as DivX and the DivX CODEC tries to play it but you only get the sound and not the video.

Meant to reply, not to thank you. Just awake from my siesta.

My Samsung camera captures video using the XviD MPEG 4 Codec, so they don't have to be 'stolen' files.
