Hi,
I get sound but not image when playing a movie recorded in a CD in Windows
Media Player. Any idea of the drivers that I need to install?
Thanks

Is it a CD, or is it actually a DVD video (commercial or home-made) ?

Cheers - Neil

Hi Neil,
It is a movie recorded in a CD. I can hear it but I can not watch it. I have
the same problem with other movies recorded in my hard disk. I think the
problem is that I do not have some codecs but I do not know which ones I need
and where to get them.
Thanks for your help

OK so my guess is you went to a torrent or movie sharing site.
They frequently distribute "complete movies" which fit on a CD

By far the most common format for that is an AVI video, using the DivX
codec. So you'd need http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/codec/ for WMP
to play that back.

Holler if that doesn't fix it and I'll ask more questions.

HTH
