.avi problems. Audio works. But picture is screwed up

I am trying to play a avi file. I downloaded it the full file. But as I play it. the picture looks good for at least 5 sec’s. then starts to try color’s and
freeze’s certin parts of the movie and drags them.

I have the same problem and it started when I updated my windows player. I used to be able to wach those file but not any more. Anyone knows what to do.

It was the only player that could watch them.

you could try and run it through a doctor program that sometimes works, also make sure your player has all the available memory possible.

I have just tried, didn’t work. damn windows.

I have the same problem. Anyone fixed it yet?

Any name of such a doctor program?

I did fixed it... get something like morpheus and search for codec, avi and install everything you find. I’m sorry, I you like to tell you which one to look for but I have install every single file I found.

good luck

hi to everyone,
there is a program which will allow you to view any video file. instead of messing around with codecs, goto freewarefiles.com and download a program called videolan. this player will not need updating or any extra codecs it will just play your media.
i hope this helps everyone. thanx Cav.
