A codec?

ok first what is it

and second were do i get it

PICTURE OF PROPLEM: http://www.geocities.com/gta_games/1.htm

do you know the file extension of the movie you’re trying to play? like some divx movies are AVI and others are divx.

avi

hm…you may want to give www.divx.com a visit to see if they have an updated codec. i think they’re up to 5.0.3 last i checked. oh and a codec stands for “compression/decompression” which basically takes the movie and “decodes” its format so you can play it on your computer.

ok i will look but when i tire it in media player, quicktime and winamp, it plays but with no sound or picture

so i do need that codec

yes. well. you need ‘a’ codec.

Hmmm, divx player 2 is kinda old, I would get the latest at the link Thor suggested. If the latest divx codec doesn’t work for you, try xvid… If it still doesn’t work post again, I will give you some other options. =0)

Cheers!
