codec, codec, what do I need?
 

I have brand new pc, and current version of Windows Media Player. Still, some downloaded vids won't play, and some will. I searched for the elusive codecs, and downloaded x-vid. No change. Is there a complete codec package plug in I can download, or is this just the chance you take when you download videos? Frustrating!

Try the XP codec pack here

Within that thread is a link for VLC player too, it's quite popular:)

Thanx so much for your suggestion! Will try it later to see if it does the trick.
