can't play movies
 

I have just started using this site and am having problems.
I can't seem to play any of the movies I have downloaded.
After checking the forum, I have downloaded the following:-
DivX Player
AVS Video Converter
VLC Media Plater
GSpot
Codecs
But still can not get them to play.

Can anyone please help me.
Thanks

do a search for FFDshow and download the latest verion and run it on your computer, then try playing your movie again, it should work.

OK - thanks will try it

still no joy - not very good with computer jargon.
Think I will give up - I have tried everything that has been suggested. Guess I wasted money.
Thanks for your help anyway.

I really think that you need a compilation package of various audio and video codecs : "theorica divx codecs" (click here) and download "The Codecs 3.0 - 9x/ME/2000/XP (English)" unzip, install and play your avi's !Try this (I'm using them and there is no avi that I couldn't watch...)


If you get the corrupt file message then you need to rebuild the file index...(only for avi's)

Look at the last message in his thread...
