I sometimes download AVI files from kazaa and every now and then I'll get one that Windows Media Player won't play. It'll say "Cannot play back the file, The format is not supported"
Sounds like a codec problem, but the files always work with Realplayer. I have divx installed. So, I don't know.
I guess the obvious solution would be to just use Realplayer to watch these, but I prefer Windows Media Player, and its expecially annoying if you want to throw the file in a playlist with other stuff and you're forced to use Realplayer for everything.
I imagine this has happened to other people. Is there a particular codec that this tends to happen with, or maybe another one that I need to install?
