No image with video

I've recently downloaded some video's but only the sound plays and not the image. Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks

It's most likely a codec issue. I'll suggest 2 things:

1. Get xtra codecs at either (a) http://www.land.ee/d_nimo_codec.html or (b) http://www.free-codecs.com/

2. Get a backup player with built-in codecs & plays everything except the odd wmv file; VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (choose nearest mirror site)

If you'd prefer VLC to be your main reliable player when you launch or preview video files then see: Setting Default video app
