Please post here that GSpot tells about the file. Video, Audio.

um okay. it says in one status spot that the codecs are installed for audio but for video that the codecs are not installed. so i can hear it but i can't see anything. what do i need to download for it to work?

DarkAngel, the post was edited by ADMIn Staff and was targeted at Kyle_Katarn, not YOU.

When you open the AVI with GSPOT, it will identify the video/audio codec it needs and if they are installed.
Likely need DIVX/XVID or just use FFDSHOW.

Yep... if you would be so kind and tell us what GSpot EXACTLY says about the
VIDEO (4cc code) for example: DIV3, DIV4, XVID, etc.
AUDIO for example: MPEG Layer-3, AC3, etc.
THEN could we help you.

And Mischcabob mentioned FFDShow... Yes, it can decode almost everything, you should try it.
