WMP can't find working audio codec

[Grobi]

:hi:

i donwloaded some avi's but when I am trying to open them with the windows media player the program always connects to activex or whatever and downloads a codec but after installation the program says that it's unable to playback audio...I have no 1.37Gigs of avi's that don't work

That's why I am searching no for a file which contains all audio codecs.

this may is a simple question, but I am sure to be in the correct category...

Nube needs help!

It might help if you right-click on the .AVI file and select "Properties". Then select the "Advanced" tab. This should bring up some information regarding the codecs used (audio and video) to create the file.

Let us know of your success ;>}

thank you that you replied !
i gave up the hope and deleted the files but i just found some of them...
buit this:
"
Windows Media Audio V2, 64 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo (for audio/video)
"
does not help me in any way...

do you, or anybody else, know what to do???

That's the Divx audio codec which is included as part of the original DivX v.3.11 file.

so i need at least divx 3.11 ??
i have divx 4.1
can it be the windows media player? should i try another one? and which would you suggest?

[setarip]

Simply install DivX 3.11

[Grobi]

the divx 3.11 codecs are not included in the divx4.1 codec?
strange

"the divx 3.11 codecs are not included in the divx4.1 codec?
strange"

Not strange at all. DivX 3.11 is THE ORIGINAL program. DivX 4.xx codecs are the rsult of an open effort initially referred to as DivX Deux and now Open DivX.
