You need whats called a Codec,

Try Divx, and Xvid.

I had the same problem. that fixed it but now i have a movie that doesnt have audio in it. i think its just the movie b/c it was only on the site for about 2 hours and then taken off. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

im not sure. i just downloaded the 2.69 full b/c it had the most stuff. i figured it wouldnt hurt to have extra codecs. it took a lil bit to download tho.

Download VLC media player. You will never have to worry about downloading codecs again. It plays everything.

But forget everything else that was said besides what Dev said. Here is the cure-all for codecs. Uninstall any other packs and install this one...

Ive heard the same thing a bunch of times but when i downloaded it off of download.com and i tried to install it i got a pop up that said it couldnt find the prgram to open it. wtf! so i deleted it and done the codecs. I did finally get it to install after i done watched everything i had tho. .
