trying to play a downloaded movie
 

some movies i download i can play and others show an unknown error message. does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this.

thank you

If it shows a licencing error then it's probably not worth bothering with & is probably a wmv file.

Sounds like it is a codec issue. Either get xtra codecs for your player or get a player with the codecs built in.

Xtra codecs: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html

Player with built-in codecs: VLC (choose the nearest mirror site) which plays everything except the odd wmv file & is free.

Else get DivX player.

thank you for ur help. i tried going to that link but didn't know where to go from there. didn't see a download button. but am trying another way of getting the same thing.
will the divx player play the movies that record now will not play.

thank you for all your help.
