when you watch the video does it only show the "WMP visualization" thing?

What a codec does is compress the video, but inorder to play that video you must also have that codec installed (anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong)

either way: if its a "missing codec" issue...

ps usually near the bottom it will show messages if one of them is "error dowloading codec" when you start the player then thats the problem.
