im not sure what u mean by "patchy" \nif you're saying that there are missing frames then u could use a video editing program to take them out. if u dont have like...adobe premiere or anything like that u could always use windows movie maker that should already be on your comp. if by patchy u mean that there are random colors and stuff on certain frames then u could again take out those frames and fix them in photoshop...although that would be a very long process.

perhaps use a converter?\n\nhttp://www.blazemp.com/convert_wmv_to_mpg.htm\nprovides a converter

This is a bit like killing a mosquito with a shotgun, but I sugest you install the K-lite Mega codec pack - it contains basically every codec that exists.  While this is overkill for your problem, it should ensure that you never run into a video or audio file that you can't play.\n\nIt also includes the 'media player classic' - which I find to be vastly superior to the newer versions of media player, but you don't have to use it if you like WMP 11.\n\nJust download the file from the link I included and do the default install.  Reboot, and you should be good to go.

That's not the player, it's the movie. Audio and Video get out of sync easily in some conversions. You can resync with a program like VirtualDub:\nhttp://www.virtualdub.org/\n\nInstructions: First, make sure both Video and Audio menus have Direct Stream Copy selected! Then go to Audio > Interleaving... There you can make a skew correction. Select a postivie or negative delay value. It;ll take some trial and error. When you're done, File > Save as AVI... (or whatever).

I presume it's a .wmv? If so, you need to downlaod Windows Media Player. It's free - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/faq/codec.mspx\n\nI think u need to patch the correct codec for it\n\nSee below to learn more about codec for WMP\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/mediaadvice/0079.mspx

Try to find out what the Codec is. Sometimes the video maybe a dummy without a header code, thus being generally unplayable by any computer.\n\nI suggest if you know anything about PC programming, get a HEX editor and check the header code for the Codec format. That takes a lot of work and I only suggest it if you have no other option. P2P programs like Limewire are becoming increasingly less helpful now that the media bigwigs are cramping down on us.

it is a flie that has to do with the acceleration in your video card settings, mostly with ATI, here is what I found to get rid of it. find the setting options for video, \nall you have to do is disable WMV Acceleration, and then restart your system. it should not do it anymore, not a virus, not the codec

Try vplayer or bs player or windows media player classic.\nAlso install Ace Mage Codecs from here : http://www.softpedia.com/get/multimedia/...

If you have the proper codec(s) installed, just open the .avi file with WMP. If you need the codecs, one popular one is Divx (from www.divx.org). Otherwise do a search for "codec pack" and download one of those.

More than likely it's because the video is NTSC encoded and your video card will be set up for PAL.  It usually makes things black and white and hazy.\n\nGet a video converter such as AVS video tools and convert it to PAL.  This should work but will take a while depending on your processor speed.

use windows movie maker (or some other professional video editiong software, if you have) and save it with a lower resolution... or encode it using some codec, usually mpeg layer 1,2,3

Someone already covered the win movie maker 2 idea. First version had some problems.\n\nFor the windvd try downloading some codec packs here:\nhttp://www.free-codecs.com/\n\nTry the newest Kazaa codec pack or the windows media, that may fix your problem.

It could be that the person who sent you the file is using\nQuick Time Player with WMV plug-in, this does cause some\nproblem. The only solution, is to drag the file to desktop,\nopen your Windows Media Player and click on "open file"\nthen choose the desired file (which may have the QTP logo\nwith the letters wmv under) and it will open normally. When the\nvideo is finished the QTP logo will have changed automatically\nto the yellow and blue Windows logo. The reason for this? The\nQTP+wmv url does not match a direct WMV url, at least this is\nthe message I receive when opening directly. I use a iMAC OSX\nTiger, so I may be wrong, but it is worth trying. Good luck pal.
