Cram Codec

Please can anyone help? I have been trying to play avi files using Windows Media Player 9, without success. I get an error message that it can’t download the required codec. The one required is 'CRAM' Codec. Can anyone tell me where I can get one? I have followed several of the threads here, and Microsoft is mentioned, but when I get to the MS website, where the hell do I look? I have tried their search facility but have come up empty handed. Please can anyone help????

Original codec shipped with Video For Windows. Deals with 8bpp and 16bpp images. Quality leaves a lot to be desired

Probably need version of media player 6 or lower.

I found I can use Quicktime to play them.

Look at #4
As terryd1 said above, if that doesn’t work, you can play it with QuickTime Player too.
