Problems with video codecs.

[M4LFUNCT10N]

So every once in awhile I get a video I can hear, but not see. It tells me that it had a problem downloading the codec(Windows Media Player 9). Is there somewhere I can manually download the codecs? I'm trying to watch the Stalker movie FYI.

I wish I could tell you the name of a program I have somewhere that detects what codec a media file uses. They are easy to find once you know the name of them. Maybe go back to where you found the vid and usually they tell you what codec you need to view it.

hah! I downloaded it from BLE's FTP server!

there is a good codec package out there somewhere...
wish i could point you in the right direction :(

I believe it uses divx, which is a quick download from here (http://download.divx.com/divx/DivX511.exe).

there's an easy way to find out what codec a video file uses. just open the file in a text editer(ie notepad) and look tor the codec name. It'll be one of the few things that can actually be read int the file.
As far as codec pacs are concerned if someone has an ftp I can upload to I have 2 codec packs that will cover any codec you might need.
