Is there any way to tell what codec a video file (avi) uses? The modding site that I downloaded it from does not mention what format or codec is used. I'm very lost on how to proceed.
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to AV stuff, but I do know that when I use the VLC Media Player , I've been able to play practically anything without worrying about codecs.
thanks guys, that will help alot! post anything and you will get helpful and if not, entertaining replies. greatest bbs ever.
so, I look up the file and it was a simple xvid codec, I had xvid already installed but windows media player still didnt play it. I downloaded VLC and it worked fine, still dont understand why WMP didnt play it when I had the codec the whole time.
