angelpotion

i have a video and it says angelpotion as the compression...i have the codec but when i play the video all i get is audio and the screen is like a purple green and it stays that way, any idea what i should do to get it to play?

Angelpotion is a ancient and now defunct codec. It was never very stable (and never ever good). I would recommend to not download any content encoded using Angelpotion, or atleast don’t use Angelpotion. It’s been known to hose systems!

Now, try playing the content you’ve got using VideoLAN (www.videolan.org).
