avi to mpeg
 

If i download an avi file i can play the file but only get the sound. As a picture i get the visualisation from the media player (windows). mpeg files are fine, so i was wondering if there is a way of converting avi to mpeg?

You're missing the correct codec to play the file that's why. GSpot will tell you which codec you need. I would highly recommend VLC which is a video player with in-built codecs & is generally very reliable. See CODECs list and alternate players for Movies
