I dl'd a movie and then the codecs; but it won't open in Windows Media Player; or if it does open, all I have is the audio and not the video. What the hell am I doing wrong???

1. Try downloading the VLC media player.

VLC is all I use now. If VLC can't play it, it probably can't be played.

2. You also should get yourself GSpot

It will tell you exactly what codec(s) you're missing on any given video file.

Pretty indispensable.

4. Thanks;

I went ahead and did that; although if I take the below suggestion I may not need it. We'll see.

3. K-Lite is a pertty all-inclusive set of codecs. It's also possible that

it's just a bad file. It's frustrating. :banghead:

The K-Lite Codec Pack has a couple of major advantages compared to other codec packs:
- It it always up-to-date with the latest versions of the codecs.
- It is very user-friendly and the installation is fully customizable, meaning that you can install only those components that you really want.
- It has been very well tested, so that the package doesn't contain any conflicting codecs.
- It is a very complete package, containing everything you need to play your movies.

5. Which one?

Basic, standard or full final?
Sorry...

6. Basic is what I have and it includes the GSpot tool mentioned above.

No problem... good luck! :hi:
