Sounds like the wrong codec. By converting what do you mean? What are you converting for?

If you just want to view the video, then get VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) which has in-built codecs.

If you want to know which codec to install for the particular file, get GSpot. Links for GSpot & codecs are in the Sticky at the top of this section called 'Major topics for downld/upld problems'.
