avi file
 

what codeck i need to see an
avi file the same time i download it?

To see the whole movie while you're downloading is impossible.
LW has the option to preview a movie (using your default media player). You can do so after downloading around 5-10% of the complete movie.

If you have problems with your default media player I reckon that your download the free VLC player which has built-in codecs and can play almost all media files:

If while previewing a movie with your default player (WMP, Real etc)these two will ask if you want to connect to their respective sites to download the codecs missing for you to play the file, does'nt work 100% of the time but usually does with real player. (for me it does anyway)

I agree with foolofthehill, always preview movie or any audio/video file early in the download to see if its what your after.

hi foolfothehill...I just read one of your posts about being able to prview a piece of a movie file while downloading after getting atleast 5-10%. How can I do? I have Nero Showtime and also as you know Limewire has it's own player. How do Iknow which one is the one playing. Because I asked sometime before about being able to preview the file before downloading completely to make sure it's what I want since Bitzi many time has no ratings and they said there was no way of previewing the file before hand. Please help. Thanks alot. God bless.

To make the VLC player your default player:
Uninstall and reinstall VLC selecting all the extensions and options you plan to use.

Go to LW>Tools>Options>Player and un-tick "use LW player" (or something like this)

there are numbers of free media players like VLC, MPlayer, and Gom Player...

since i'm a Gom user.. i strongly recommend you Gom Player.. it playbacks most of the AVI files..
you can download them at
