I have no image
 

I tried to download a series with limewire. I searched for every episode and downloaded it. The first 35 episodes were OK, but then all the following ones had no image. I played them in Media
Player and the sound was fine, but no image. All the movies I downloaded since then (over 600mb each) have no image, but some shorter ones (approx. 30mb) have. I don't know what to do. I can't use limewire now except for mp3

no image (part2)
 

I just saw another thread on the same subject and the reply was that I probably haven't the right codecs, but, when I don't have them, Media player says that "it was a problem finding the codecs" or somethiong like that. Well, I don't get this message, the movie's sound just starts playing and the screen is black. Oh, and yes, this happens to .avi movies

Hehe I had this problem for a while....drove me crazy.

Here's the thing:

Windows media player seems to be stubbern on avi files, so use Real Player. If you just want to preview it, select preview and get the regular error from windows media player, then find the incomplete file (for me its in My Documents). Then seclect the file from that folder, and open it with Real Player (or Real One Player). For complete files, just open them with Real Player in your shared folder :)

If it's not an rp file then you could also use VLC (in-built codecs) or at least keep it as a backup. See CODECs list and alternate players for Movies

10x, it works! I am soooo happy!!!:D

The exact same problem...
 

But, i am totally new.. Real Player, does I have to download that? I also tried to burn the movie into a dvd, but I got an error at the dvd- player... Dont understand nothing! can someone pleaaaase help me?

Wow!
 

I downloade-d divX, and it works!
Thank you!!
