WMP / AVI / Codec (1 Viewer)

[sf_diegoxrock]

hey all,
i cant seem to play this avi i have and i was wondering, how can i make windows media player tell me which codec i need? because it doesnt automatically download it for me (i checked the box for auto. downloads) and ive been dling codec packs like crazy =( no luck..
so i opened it in divX player and it says im missing a MJPEG codec.. can windows media player tell me which codec i need?
btw, i used GSpot and it says i have all the compatible codecs yet the avi file wont play.. tho it plays on my friends comp

Ac3 Filter http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Filters/ac3filter_0_70b.exe

That should be all you need to play your standard movie file

Try this link. Get the Nimo codec pack. See if that helps.

Everyone seems to have forgotton the Ogg Vorbis codec.

 

[AsyLum]

Not many people would need to

 

[MedNez]

You'd be surprised how many files are encoded with this. Especially files that act as containers for dual audio.

 

[AsyLum]

If they are running .ogm movies, then i wouldnt recommend using WMP, in which case you're looking at media player classic, which has in built .ogm decoding

 

[MedNez]

Actually, Media Player Classic requires and external codec to run *.ogm containers. It has inbuilt support, but if you want proper feedback, you'll need the codec to go with it.

I reccommend you should start using a half-decent media player like Media Player Classic or VideoLAN.
