Sound not playing in AVI XVID file

[micky_s]

I downloaded a move clip, and I can not get the sound working in Media Player the video plays perfectly, but no sound... I loaded the file into Virtualdub to get the avi information:

Virtual Dub File info:

Video
Decompressor XVID MPEG-4 Codec

Audio Stream
Sampling Rate: 48000hz
channels: 2 (Stereo)
Compression: Unknown (tag 2000)
Preload Skew: 1200 samples (0.25)
# frames 90019


I have got XVID installed....any ideas?

cheers

You are missing an audio codec. Try installing the Nimo codec pack.

I have tried installing Nimo, but then my Media Player Starts crashing, and then when I uninstall nimo, windows media player is ok....

is there anyway to find out which codec I need to install

Hmmm, I have heard that G-spot from www.doom9.org can do this, certainly for video, may work for audio. Give it a try.

I installed windows media player 9....and when I try and play the file its says that the audio codec is reported as Tag 2000....but I have never heard of it...I did a search on the net and got nothing....

this is driving me nuts...
