codecs needed

alliyo

hello,
apparently i need divx/xvid codecs , i have downloaded gspot and avi files will not play without this codec, though in my codec i have

avi decompressor??
and nero digital avc video is missing? can anyone help with these?

i have apparently 167 codecs loaded, so can i get individual ones and can someone recommend from where? trusted and easy site to use please!
i know you can download packages but have to un-install others first but i wouldnt want to do this in case i do it wrong!

woo

have a look at http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ for the xvid codec

Or try the K-Lite codec packs which have just about every codec you'll ever need... ever.

but if i download the k-lite pack do i need to uninstall my other codecs?

Is it easy to do? Not too confident about doing these things in case i muck things up!

thanks

If you have installed any other codec packs yes but if you havent then no just install K-lite.

Have you tried VLC player? Plays near enough everything http://www.videolan.org/

would def uninstall all your codecs and use one good pack such as k-lite/ffdshow. Also as ian02 says, vlc player plays most stuff without the need for a codec.
