lol im such a newb....i have downloaded lots of amv's but all the ones that are suppose to play in windows media player have no video....it acts like they are just songs or something. I have audio but no video feed what so ever, the screen just has the usually cool graphics when your playing a song. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you need codecs to decode the videos.

Go to http://www.doom9.org
click on the download link and download the file called Gordian Knot Codec Pack 1.6

Once installed you should be able to play back almost everything on this site.

I also recommend the newest Nimo Codec pack, there are almost all necessary Audio and Video Codecs in it....

Nimo is the Devil Incarnate

Gordian Knot is bliss.

Indeed. But installing codecs separately > codec packs.

Just watch out for the malware in their version of DivX.

man honestly do what janzki said and install the codecs speerately. it might take longer and be a bit of a pain, but it'l let you customise the installation and thiers less chance of things fucking up

I'm having the same problem as Kouga. Only I have a mac so I'm betting that makes it worse. ^_^; I downloaded the codec, but the .exe makes it open up in Mircosoft Excel and I get a bunch of mumbo jumbo spewed at me. -_-

If you have a mac, I'd recommend downloading VLC to play your videos with:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

not only does it play most quicktime and windows based formats, but it also opens DVD and VCD files.

otherwise, just do a google search for "mac video codec" and you can find a whole bunch of sources for both the popular, and obscure components, for mac.

If you have a slower mac (G3, 1ghz or less) I would recommend converting AVI files to quicktime MOV files using Divx Doctor

hope this helps ^_^
