I cant get Media Player 9 to play the video on avi files. mpeg are fine.
Sound is OK but WMP9 ties unsuccesfully to download codecs. Just says
"download error"
I have downloaded and installed new codecs form MS site but still no good.
Any ideas please
Thanks
Brian
 
Hi,

These are the most popular codes that most users seem to be missing (as they
are not included with Windows):

Divx: http://www.divx.com/divx/
Xvid: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html

In WMP8, you need to run a fairly complicated procedure to detect the name
of the missing codec, in WMP9 the error message will tell you which one.
Just try installing both of them first.
