I can not get this DivX coded movie to play!

[Boomer7299]

I am using Windows Media Player


I donwloaded a DivX program lasst week that supposedly installed some DivX 'codec's to my Windows Media Player. It has played oither DivX encoded movie and movie clips fine, bu with this one i ONLy get SOUND


Any ideas?


when I click properties

It is listed as : --
Type: Video Clip
MS DOS NAME ******divx.avi (where *** is the actual title)


Everyt time I try play it, it also connects to a "codec" server and attempts to get a "codec request"

Cheers!




What is up?

Well.. you either do not have the proper codec or the movie is FAKE!
Try this link to this site http://www.vcdhelp.com/vcdtools.htm#codecs and try downloading the kristal or nimo codecs. Or just install both of em! If this doesn't work then like I said the movie is a FAKE. If you downloaded it from a program, some people actually have the file as just a blank A/V or they rename it something crazy liek a .tmf file, which I have come across.

Thanks for the tip!

I am going to try it now

I would say it is definitely a real file. It plays the correct soundtrack for the audio, but no picture

I had this prolem with "DivX" movies before (sound but no video) and the "codecs" I installed solved it ok


But I will give this a go.

Thanks again
