Default codec

When playing a media file I get the error message saying there is an error in downloading codec? Does anyone know what this means please... I went to the divx site but there was no download button there so I could not download their codecs. I have both Quicktime and Windows Media player on my computer but I still get the above error message on about 60% of my media downloads. HELP!!!

Laurie

You could try installing Nimo's codec pack: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html That should help. The message means you're lacking needed codecs to play the media.

- and, just to reduce the idea that any of this stuff is like ´rocket science´........

codec = coder / decoder

as in

modem = modulator / demodulator
