I burned a bunch of music videos for my friend, mainly avi and mpg. I noticed a few didnt play on his windows media player 11. I downloaded DIVX since I thought that was the problem. Most of the ones that don't play are video files and some are movie files (stupid question - what is the difference???)
When I finish installing, and click on the file, it says that WMP does not support this file or doesnt have the codecs that are used to run this file. I don't understand since they all play on my computer. I don't recall what codecs are used or which ones I installed to run these small (50-100mb) avi/mpg music videos (movie/video files). Most of the ones that won't play are avi's.
Can any think of what I need to do?
thanks!
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I will try that. I heard the main ones are Divx (which I downloaded and did not work) and XVid (which I also downloaded and did not work) Interesting, because on my other computer (Windows XP), all I remember installing was Divx and ffdshow and I had no problem running these files.

Sounds like a typical WMP 11 issue (especially if it is Vista based).
The easiest solution is to just use a different media player.
Aside from that, you are stuck troubleshooting why the codecs are not installing/registering properly in WMP 11. Likely, any solution will have to come from MS.Google is your Friend -
