Downloaded avi file and only hear sound
 

i just downloaded my first video, an avi file.

when playing it i can only hear the sound of the film. there's no picture.

does anyone know what i did wrong?

It's probably a codec problem. See link below. Has a lot of great info.

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

Also might take a look at VLC Media Player, has codec built in, and will play most anything.

VLC media player - Overview.


And lastly, ALWAYS use Bitzi when searching for Video Files.

How to find music (tips for video also)

Hope this helps. :D

thanks for the info.

what is bitzi?

Click on the Link "How to find Music" and it will explain.

It's a site where members RATE Files so you know what your getting before you download.
