Could somebody please post help regarding the best ways of obtaining specific codecs when a person has difficulty using a movie file that they have downloaded??

Thanks to anybody that provides help or advice....................

Well, are you using mac, DOS, Unix, windows, linux, eftpos? lol Try http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html or http://www.click-now.net/html/K-LiteCodecPack.htm or http://www.free-codecs.com/ These provide a choice. OR you could try VLC a free player with codecs built in: http://www.videolan.org/ (any mirror site)
