Audio but NO Video on mpeg downloads
 

Hi-Can someone help Please. When I download a music video (usually) mpeg or AVI, i can hear the sound, but no picture. I have Windows XP w/ Service Pack 3. I use Windows Media Player as my player. I have D/Led several videos and NONE will play video. I have plenty of Ram=2G and lots of space on my hard drive. I do maintenence on my pc every week including defragmentation. Can someone please help! Thanks!

Codec problems! .. We normally recommend using VLC as it has in-built codecs & will play all video & audio formats you will find on gnutella network, if they are valid & not spammed corrupted files of course.

To make VLC your default video player, see Setting Default video app

Elsewise, see CODECs list for Movies/Audio/ Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers
