Need help to play mp42 video. Pls help, i tried everything.

[lawrance]

Hello, can anyone help me with this ? I downloaded a video that i can't play. The error is "Unknown format mp42". I tried everying, installing nimo, mpeg4 codec,angelpotion and even fixing the file with divx fix(which in this case totally distorted the video file although i could play it now). I don't know what esle to do. Pls help. Thank you.

For a start off, get rid of the SMR (Angel portion) its rubbish and you don't need it.

MPEG 4 V 2 is provided in the Nimo codec pack, if you have used DivX fix and it has modified the original (Give up now) if you still have the original, start by getting rid of SMR and re-install Nimo.

MPEG 4 V 2,3,4 is also available to download as "Mpeg4 Codec.exe" from Kazaa, but as I said Nimo will install it anyway.

Well, i've already done that. Before i had nimo installed i had all other codecs removed. After nimo was running I still wasn't able to play my file. It's was after that did i have SMR installed. But it did no gd either.
