problem with pc...any help grateful

Post by Subzero »

For a long time ive had 0 problems playing avi files etc...until now...I've transferred some avi's from my camera to play on my pc, but no matter what player I use (media player, winamp, nero showtime, divx etc) they just close without even a warning, meaning I cant watch the AVI's at all...

Anyone know why this is happening and have a solution???

Sounds like a corrupt codec file to me.

Download and Install: [exturl=http://avicodec.duby.info/]AVICodec[/exturl] <--- Click on URL(Seperate Window will pop-up)

It is not a CODEC!!! but it is an AVI Analyzer it will tell you what Codecs you need to be able to view them.

I use it all the time when I get AVI's that dont work.

As a side not for those who may not know. AVI is more of a container type of file, which is why there are multiple codec for a single file format.
