AVI viewing

Hi
Anyone know how the rapidshare and megaupload AVI files are viwed as my PC automatically opens them in windows media and they have sound but no pictures?

Any help would be cool
Thanks

Try downloading the VLC player , you will find a link on this site, it plays all variants of files

Sounds like the classic codec problem there buddy.

In the sense that you have not got the right codecs installed or they are currupted!

Get VideoLAN (VLC player) this works without codec's as such and should play the files fine (pretty good player too)

If you really want to to play them in Media Player then i surgest 1st codec to install is DivX and/or XviD

Edit bit:

Haha Fieldy you beat me to it by seconds
