Codecs
 

Hey I'm using WMP10 and I lost all my codecs now many of my (legally obtained) movies are no longer working at all?

They are mostly all .avi s and they no longer worked, but they worked with WMP9 (as I recall). Is there any super codec I can download, or is there a site that figure out what codec I need?

mplayer has most codecs available (look in codecs page) The problem is, right now the windows version has no GUI to it yet. so my suggestion is that if you use it, make a desktop shortcut to mplayer.exe and drag and drop movie files to it.

edit: I just discovered http://deje.uw.hu/ this project that looks like a ok front end project...their are a couple more floating around

http://www.divx.com/divx/download/ this codec solved the .avi problem for me

I tried DivX... Didn't work. I shall check the others

This will tell you exactly what codec a particular video needs.
