If launching, how is it that I can view some AVI downloads but others respond '.....no filters to render stream' (para-quote) ?.
Do I need to upgrade my Windows Media Player ?

I think I'll leave well alone at the moment, but thanks anyway Peerless. (Oxford comma(?)).

O.K Mister, cheers, I'll give it a go.

I use DIVX to view incomplete .avi files to check file is ok and in my language... It will view .avi files provided they are not corrupted.

Braefoot

use divx..... .avi files can be viewd with divx and mostly (99%) of the time it wrks

Nimo´s codec pack also installs divx. That is the reason why you can view avi files after the installation.

If you don´t want to install a beta. You can try the ACE Mega codec pack:

http://www.codec-download.com/module...name=Downloads

Here you can find all needed codecs, but you don´t need to install all of them the codec packs install the most of them. The other codecs you should only install when needed.

VLC probaly the best .

VLC is a player and needs ALSO codecs.

Morgwen

VLC needs codecs ?

I doubt it
I have a fresh installed XP and NO codec packs installed.
Win media player can't hardly play anyhing VLC plays allmost everything !

No codecs for me, just VLC


BTW, for the few things VLC can't play I use Zoom Player
