I keep getting a problem with windows mediaplayer 9. It always plays the audio from streams but sometimes it doesn’t show the video.
It will act like this for a couple of days then go back to normal.
Any explanations???
Is it the same video that it does this to? Because it really sounds like a missing Codec problem…
Cheers!

not really a solution to your problem, but try downloading vlc…nifty little player that works on just about every video type.

Sounds as though you need the codec.
Xvid or Divx codecs are the newbies
Hey teet, that is a pretty cool vid player, thanks for the link.
Cheers!

no problem niann 
i stumbled across this player about a year ago…it’s AWESOME
it will play practically anything…quicktime movies, weird divx movies, partially downloaded avi’s…plus it’s a lot less bulky than windows media player.

what are codecs? how do I use them
i needed about 30 codecs to play vcd’s, i honestly hate windows media, it never works right for every video
