how do I watch avi download

I have downloaded divx codec and xvid codec but still when I try to play, in the window media player it is only giving the voice recording and some flash images on the screen. please help

Are you sure the downloaded AVI file is intactness?

Search a video converter for windows OS, you will work it out.

Multimedia Editing and Converting App: Video Converter, DVD Ripper and iMedia Converter for Mac.

mick,

Try changing video players.

I’m sure there’s another one that is better suited for your needs.

I personally use KMplayer.

It uses internal and external codecs, the user specifies when to use the codec required.

I chose this over VLC and media player classic, and both of those I chose over Windows Media Player.

Most people here would say go with VLC, it’s low maintainance, and uses only internal codecs.

VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

KMplayer: http://cdn.pandora.tv/KMP/Download/beta/The_KMPlayer_1434.exe

To test the codecs required:http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/GSpot270a.zip

If you’re 100% that it’s xvid: http://www.xvid.org/

If you think it’s divx: http://www.divx.com/en/products/software/windows/divx

If you’d prefer to hit for the fences so to speak, try out the k-lite codec pack and only install the required codecs.
