You need a program that can play it. But just use one, do not download a bunch of them. If you have a program that is trying to play it, update that program.\n\nEasiest thing is use the latest free WINDOWS MEDIA file:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx\n\n or any free avi player:\n\nDownload Video Players - Video - Free Downloads - Soft32.com ...

download gspot.\n\nIt will identify the codecs used in the film, and tell you why it is not working, and what you need to fix it.\n\nI discovered Gspot a few years ago and I can't go without it now.

You could try using WinAvi Video Converter. It can convert videos to .avi format. U can get a trial on download.com.

Download and install:\nhttp://www.free-codecs.com/download/Codec_Pack_All_in_1.htm\n\nThis will allow you to play AVI and most other common video formats you may encounter

you do not have the correct codex for the video file, look up what codex you need then download them.

Depends on the clip you are attempting to play.  It may have no image.\n\nYou may also need to download the correct codec.\n\nHope this helps!

If u have all the right codecs it could be   that your video player is broken....try using another player like mplayer..u can get it from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html  if  that doesn't work,maybe your video card is broken,and you should replace it...but sometimes,it just that Windows it's working badly  a nd  you need   to reinstall it

Try any of the following:\n\nWrong CodDecs:\n\nThere are lots of movie formats. The most popular ones are .avi, .mov. wmv, .asf and .mpg. \n\n.avi = DivX --> www.divx.com\n.mov=QuickTime format --> www.apple.com/quicktime/\n.wmv, .asf and mpg are native to Windows Media Player.\n\nJust download the right codecs from the sites I specified. :D\n\nWrong Players:\n\nUse the right players for the format you're trying to play. Do note that if you have the CoDecs installed then Windows Media Player would do.\n\nReally, really, really old display cards:\n\nThis is a bit far out, but if you're using really old display cards, like the 4bit ones like the old SiS or S3 cards. You ran a chance of the movies not playing. Especially if you're running them in 800 x 600 resolution. Your hardware can't accomodate that load. If this is the case, please change your display card.\n\nReally, really, really old monitors:\n\nSame case with the old display cards, old monitors won't do it either. Change your monitors.\n\nDrivers for your display card:\n\nYou might be using drivers supplied by your OS. Try downloading the correct driver for your display card be it 98, XP, Linux whatever. :D Hope this helps.

If you are attempting to play AVI files, they require codecs.\n\nCodecs are special filters that manage how a video file is played back. There are many of these codecs, and which one you should use is generally dependent on a given file.\n\nYou should try getting the latest Divx codec. That will play back most AVI files.\n\nhttp://www.divx.com\n\nAlso, you should look into the G-Spot appliance. It is a program that will tell you what codec is used; you can then search for the appropriate codec.\n\nhttp://www.headbands.com/gspot/

try changing the resolution or encoding to AVI tthen converting it later on.\n\nencoding to MPEG or DivX takes a lot of CPU and it gets messed up if you do it on the fly.
