some .avi files play, only audio, no video...

http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/

works like a charm. Thanks!

Same problem here. But...
The moment I try in Cat.Cont.Center [Preferences]-[Restore Factory Defaults] the video image returns. But if i click anywhere in CCC then video picture goes black again. Nasty!

The ATI card setting switch from custom to Home solved the problem! Thanks so much!!!! This has been bugging me for months you rock!!!

Thanks Pete! the catalyst controller fixed the problem.

I tried changing the ATI setting from custom to home and the didn’t fix it so I downloded DiviX player instead of windows media player and it started playing all my files just fine thanks for the help.

I had the same problem, sound no pic, i went here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ downloaded the player and BOOM, the video plays.

I Have the same problem with some avi. I have CCCP codecs and also VLC. When I try to read them on Windows Media Player, Classic or VLC, I get only the sound. My laptop is brand new and have Vista. I set the ATI video presets to Home and it did not work. Divx works very well.

Thank you so much for that link; it would have taken me hours to figure out on my own. Files work great now! And for future views--it is a free download. :)

Peymonsters solution fixed my problem in like 3 mins! Thank you so much!

switching the catalyst settings to theatre was the trick for me! Thanks alot!!

PeteJones...i love you....cheers...now i can watch heroes series 3 :D

Try downloading Total video Converter and converting it in any other format.
Worked for me..

used Gspot codec v2.70a - It states that the codec is DIVX and the codecs are installed. however when i play the file on wmp I get the message that wmp encountered a problem while playing the file. Audio codecs are installed and there is audio, no video.

No video on nero, real, wmp or quicktime
Any idea what to do next?

I recently downloaded uTorrent, and have been downloading some stuff from the Pirate Bay. However, when I tried to play a downloaded file, it would play audio but no video. Why is this?! Please remember that I am a total noob at this, so don’t hate if it’s a really stupid question.
Is this just a problem with the download, or is it something else?

Thx a lot Pete, It solved my problem ! You’re the best !

I have Nvidia GeForce MX, and have developed the same problem somehow. AVI files give me sound only, in WMP or any other player I have. Updated drivers, no joy. DivX didn’t help either.

Ah! The K-Lite codecs worked. Thanx megallions, Razor!
