Hmm. My newly downloaded .avi seems to be malfunctioning - the sound keeps playing, but the video gets stuck at one place. Is there anything I can do with it, or am I doomed to watch it this way, O wise f-list?

What program are you using? I find VLC to be much more useful for not making xvid .avis stick than Windows Media Player. Or you could download a new version?

Windows media player refuses to play it at all. Realplayer does play it, but in this weird way. VLC, hmm?

VLC! Have you also got the xvid codec installed? What version of Windows are you running? If it's XP, you need the xvid codec, probably, but if you're running Vista (and if so I feel your paid) there's a different codec pack.

It's XP - I'll go try the codec. And also download VLC, if it acts weird again. Thank you, O wise one. *bows*

I have but a touch of nerd, but I do my best to serve! Plus, I had the same problems before.

The codec works! Thank you!

Welcome!

VLC is highly recommended, by the way. I've seen it play lots of stuff that WMP just hiccups on.

Downloading as we speak! *g*
