codec needed to play movie
I have just downloaded my first movie from kazaa - it has taken forever and now I can`t play it :(
Its a .avi file and I am trying to view it using windows media player. However when I try to do this, at the bottom of the screen it says `locating/sending request for/error downloading codec.
The sound plays ok but on the screen is just a lot of patterns and line moving around!
Can someone help please?
RE: codec needed to play movie
open your shared folder and play the file using DivX player
Bear in mind, the file could very well be false, a lot of Kazaa users share false files with fake names to increse their bandwidth allowance

There`s a program called G Spot Codec Finder. It will look at your (legitimate I hope!) movie and tell you what codecs it requires. You can find it on the net.
**edit : ps the patterns on screen is Window Media Players default output when playing audio.
