Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / August 2008WMP 11 can't play back downloaded and converted .avi files
Dear experts, I have very little knowledge on computer and needed your help. Previously, my WMP11 was able to playback downloaded movie in .avi format (In the properties is says Video Clip) and also rmbv or mov. files converted to .avi. But now, when I tried playing back those files, there are no video at all except the audio. (I have Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled) Any kind of help is greatly appreciated. Thanks & Regards Ricky >Dear experts, I have very little knowledge on computer and needed your help. >Previously, my WMP11 was able to playback downloaded movie in .avi format They're almost always converted as DivX AVI videos, which means you'd need to add the DivX codec from http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/codec/ >(In the properties is says Video Clip) and also rmbv or mov. files converted >to .avi. >But now, when I tried playing back those files, there are no video at all >except the audio. (I have Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled) The GSpot program http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ can help identify the codec which the AVI file indicates is needed for playback - WMP can't usually automatically download the codec for playback from non Microsoft sources, but if you post the GSpot codec "4CC" name, we can suggest a place to get one which will enable playback. It would help to know if you have Vista 32- or 64-bit in that case.

This may be a duplication. I have just download the Divx codec but it still can't playback any video. Just wondering what else is wrong? Regards Ricky > > >Dear experts, I have very little knowledge on computer and needed your help. > > >Previously, my WMP11 was able to playback downloaded movie in .avi format [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > Regards > Ricky Hi there again, Neil. Still trying to digest the second part about GSpot program and the GSpot codec "4CC" name. Visited the link to GSpot and saw a download for GSpot v2.70a is this the program to find out about the codecs I've installed. Oh yes, my vista is a 32 bits system. Regards Ricky Hi Neil, I have downloaded, Divx and ffdshow codec and GSpot. It still doesn't work. I run the GSPOT and on the right side under Video it says Codec DX50 Name DivX 5.x/6.x Status Codec(s) are installed and at the bottom Proposed Codec Solutions and Tests Under GSpot Vid number 3 button there are many lines saying failed to connect Output...... one of which says Failed to connect Output pin 0x005f340c(Stream 00) on AVI splitter to input pin 0x005cd074 (XForm In) on filter 0x03e44f30 (XvidMPEG4 Video Decoder) Connect Direct [] Failed. Error 0x80040207 [Unknown] Sori for the trouble and my little knowledge about computer. One consolation is I can play those files with Divx player so I can check that the coversion is alright before I burn them on disc. Thanks again for your time Neil really appreciate your help.

That's the third MPEG4-in-AVI decoder on your system and the only one you didn't list. =)  SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

Thanks for your help Regards > What happens if you uninstall XVID here? > [quoted text clipped - 67 lines] > >> Regards > >> Ricky ffdshow, xvid, and divx. I have no idea what you've done to your system so couldn't speak to that. Only you would know what codecs you installed and how you installed them. =) In the worst case scenario, grab some XVID installer, run that, and then uninstall it. That should work.

I took the easy way out by doing a system restore and the last time I did that my Divx player can play back my download divx files WMP still can't, so i tried to restore to an earlier date and I lost the Divx player but my Nero Showtime works. Now I've tied my itchty fingers and leave it as it is lest I lose everything. Thanks again for everyone's great help to this blurblop.
