No sound or picture with AVI

I have the same problem as Isabelle! Help me

I have a similar problem, I hear only the audio without the pictures? But it wasn’t like that before, I’m sure because my sister and I watched the .avi files, which I downloaded from torrentspy.com through azureus, and they were fine, but when I opened them again it became like that! I tried system restore, or download the other stuff said in other forums but nothing works, what gives?

TeKsupp0rt gUy:

Thanks very much — the fix in the registry worked! Greatly appreciate your help.

Happy new year!

wow..im normally good at this but this one took me a while to figure out...got it working though...so i’ll try to be the hero here...

1 - download l3codecx.exe from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/MPEG_Layer_3_Codec.htm. This should install l3codeca.acm, l3codecp.acm, and l3codecx.acm into your c:\windows\system32 folder.

2 - download l3codecx.ax from here: http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0254531101/l3codecx.ax. Save this file into your c:\windows\system32 folder ( I don’t know why this file was excluded from the executable in the above link but if it was there it would have solved my problem right away! )

3 - Go to Start -> Run and copy and paste this line: regsvr32.exe l3codecx.acm. Click OK to message that says the file was registered successfully.

4 - Again go to Start -> Run and copy and paste this line: regsvr32.exe l3codecx.ax. Click OK to message that says the file was registered successfully.

Try to run your file.

If that doesn’t work I did some tests based on what was found here: http://www.divxmovies.com/faq/#4.4 - I downloaded the Gspot file, ran my movie against it and identified exactly what codec I was missing.
http://www.moviecodec.com/topics/5628p2.html - Here is where I found the link to obtain the codec I needed, it has other info there too.

thanks to jakal. i can now hear my music, and im very happy.

cheers mate

I had no problem.....my wmp11 coudn´t read but it found and installed the codec by it selfe.....sorry about the spelling....i+m from DK

Also none of the above worked for me!! I tried Windows Media Tools, the Fraunhofer MPEG Layer-3 Audio Decoder, FFDSHOW.... nothing!!! Does anybody else have any ideas?? Pleeease.... Pretty please )

I have sound but no picture while trying to play files on media player 11. I have no idea how to fix it and its getting really frustrating. can anyone help?

Same here! Nothing worked. I’m using a Win XP SP2 machine, with WMP 10. I’ve installed all thost Frauheuzer codecs and loads which fit that description. But nothing works.

Strangely, on my dad’s slightly newer (but still XP home SP2) computer, they play fine first time without the need for any audio codecs installed!

Only thing I can think of is that he has Sonic My DVD thing installed?

OMG TeKsupp0rt gUy i do that and i have the sound but the image looks in reverse, the feet are in the sky, what is that codec >

Flip Video in property of Xvid, all work good. I was wrong. TY

It also worked in my case. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I downloaded/installed the program, but how does that help me acquire the codec I need?

Thanks,
