When attempting to play in win media or real player I get an 'error downloading codec' message (there is sound but no Vid)

I then searched this forum and downloaded suggested VL program, now I have vid and no sound!

ANy suggestions?

'Cheers' in anticipation of a reply

now i've downloaded divX media player, I have sound and video, but the sound repeats,breaks upand jumps ahead of the visuals which 'fast forward' at points - come on guys, surely someone can suggest something to help me out

We normally recommend VLC player but if it isn't working properly in that player & divx player can't play it properly, it might just be that particular video file. Did you try playback in roxio or nero? Also did you use bitzi to find out user feedback to see if others had same problem with the file? How to use Bitzi Web Lookup

This is happening in all movie files. The first one that I played worked perfectly and since then all dwnloaded videos have the same problem.

In VLC player sometimes I have to change the sound format in
Try clicking Audio,at the top of VLC and se if changing it works
Works for me
sorry for jumping in lotr just a thought.

Good idea. Yes VLC does have other "hidden" functions in its settings.

Edit: you could also try rebooting & try playing them again without LW open.

It had me pulling my hair out one night Der
worth a try

Peace
