    Every time i download a video on uTorrent only the sound plays. I don't get any video. Windows Media Player usually says something along the lines of "error downloading codec". Anyone know what program I need to download to be able to watch these videos? I remember a long time ago I had to download WinRar in order to watch something but that was only a trial period. I want something free btw.

    you are missing a codec most likely for dixv.

    Google divx codec and download a free one.

    You're most likely missing the xvid codec. It's the codec of choice for the majority of pirated tv/movies, as well as our very own R2k.

    Seriously, I have yet to come across any video that VLC can't play.

    Good stuff, VLC.
