AVI Problems - Codec? Invalid?

Thanks so much, Fred. You’ve saved me from alot of trouble.

I had the same problem but ive already got the latest divx player i got a 700mb movie but i cant watch it any other ideas???

I have sort of the opposite problem. I recorded a video with my digital camera (a Samsung Digimax A503) and then wanted to put it on my computer and watch it. I transferred it to my computer to watch it, and opened it with Windows Media Player 11. (I have Windows Vista.) It would play the video but said I needed a codec to access the audio. I thought maybe DivX would play it properly because everytime I had trouble with .avi before, I would use DivX and it would work fine. I’m able to play the video in the DivX player, and the audio will come in, but it’s all messed up, staticky, and my voice (or the music) is so slowed down that it sounds like Satan!

On my old computer, which had WMP 10 and Windows XP, a video that I recorded of my nephew played fine. Is the problem with my computer, and what can I do to fix it?

I use Mininova 4 my downloads but on occasions when i download an AVI file,when i click on the file the video should be contained within my computor freaks out and simply closes all of the windows such as windows media player and the file window!which is retarded cus it takes quite some time to download these movies and when it screws up it givs no real explanation as to why! for some movies it has stated problems with codec ect but tb honest i havnt a clue how te solve the problem.Im gonna try the link above as Fred seems to b gettn positiv replys! but if ne1 has also used mininova nd has encountered related problems please write back cheers

I downloaded a movie that had .AVI as the extension. It plays audio but not video.

I checked the properties of the file and all I can see is that the type of file is listed as “Video Clip”

GSPOT does not recognize this as a valid AVI file.

Any help would be appreciated. This file is almost 700meg and I’m dying to see it!

I downloaded she’s the man, and it came in AVI format. I tried playing it on Windows Media Player, Reap Player, Power DVD, and none of them display any picture-only sound. Please help me!
