you need a codec lee type (codec) into google and download it, then you should be able to do so.

Hi Halifax I typed in codec in google and it gave me 6,000,000 choices which one do I need thanks again for helping a newbie. Lee

Hey Lee, Try these.

Get one of these pacs also...
For XP this codec pac is very good
Download XP Codec Pack 2.0.8 - XP Codec Pack is one of the most complete codec pack
Or for Vista this pac
Vista Codec Package v4.4.7 Beta 4a (freeware)

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack

Hiya Lee sorry I have just looked at me emails now turned comp off for a bit.
yeah try those codec packs that me laddo's posted they are good choices.

I downloaded this program, but I'm not sure how to use it. Can anyone teach me?

hi I downloaded the codec program for Vista and i still cannot view movies can anyone tell me where i am going wrong

Not exactly sure what you guys use to view videos but I use COWON America to watch movies and to convert music files. This program is probably best, because your movies will automatically load up on it, audio and video playing very well. Not very clear, but its better then wathing it off of youtube because graphics show up a bit better then youtubes.

Hey Lee,

I had similar problems until I downloaded this, try it.

VideoLAN - Free Software and Open Source video streaming solution for every OS!

Yea, you probably need the VLC media player, thats what I had to use. I couldn't watch avi movies on the windows media player, all that would come up was the audio. It'll play them on the VLC player though.
