mr keef Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hey all...in need of a little help...over the last few months some of the movies iv downloaded from torrent sites have been avi,but unlike 90% of the avi's i download windows media wont play them and the other players i have wont either.Probably something to do with the compression software used or something....any ideas on this,anyone have the same problems?os there a player that plays just about anything? cheers keef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 The core media player is good and free, also windows media player classic is another good freebie. I would also get a codec pack like this one: CLICK HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Yup, also use the kazaa mega here... Does the job nicely and mplayerc is definitely the way forward on a slightly underpowered machine as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
