Wmp?

[liquid]

Why is it that when I download videos such as the TopGear one, they play as songs within WMP? I can hear the Sound, but I can't see the Video :mrsly:

You're missing the correct video codec. I dont know which one you're talking about, but probably divx. DL from divx.com.

I already have DIVX... I tried playing them with that, but it doesn't work. Says it's some form of invlid Mpeg.

I was having the same problem, and, since I am more less dumb when it comes to computers I just went to the site and downloaded the latest version. After that, it seemed to work like a charm.

the latest version of WMP, or Divx?

Thanks.

There's 3 versions of divx all different. You don't use their player, the compressor/decompressor is separate and works within media player. I have divx 5 and divx 4.12, along with about a dozen other ones.

You can see yours by going control panel -> sounds & multimedia -> hardware, click video codecs -> properties ->properties.
