Problem viewing Xvid, Avi etc......

[cquan05]

I cannot view a movie which is an avi file, and Xvid.....it said i needed a module.....it didn't list a specific one though......any suggestions for that?

and i fixed this problem for one movie, but for another, the screen is all green and messed up, how can i fix that?
thanks

You need to install codecs which enable you to view and hear your files. Gspot will test your files and tell you if you have the required codecs. Download and install them as needed. You'll find links in the Tools section or just Google if you need one.

yea i tried that GSpot program.....but it just closes everytime with an error that says it crashed while trying to find the codecs installed.........

i play these movies with both windows media player and real one player....and they both give me the same errors......so I'm assuming it's just the codecs that I need for everything to piece together?

Codecs seem to be only part of the problem. Lacking codecs should not not make GSpot crash. Go ahead and load your codecs from the Tools section at left, and go from there.

ok well i went to the Tools section.......and downloaded that ffdshow prog....the movie i had problem with seems to be working now.......

now i have to figure out the movie that needed some module....

Does anyone know about a missing module for playing Xvid???/

This movie I have won't play in Real Player or Windows Media Player because it says it's missing a module, but doesn't say what specific one......any help?

WE ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU!!!

Go to the Tools section at left, find the DivX codecs, not the friggin' Ffdshow program, you somehow found, install the codecs on your system and see if it runs your DivX videos.

ffdshow was there as I was going through........

I have all the Divx codecs......still doesn't work.....

[Tommyknocker]

Interesting. Where did the movie come from (Title).

[cquan05]

maybe I should pm you with where I got the movie from?

I know it's not a corrupt file though.......

[Tommyknocker]

Sure, go ahead and and PM me.
