Besttechie Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Hi,Sounds like a codec issue. I think the problem is that you don't the have proper codec for an avi file. Make sure you get the proper codec and then you will be able to play avi files on your PC.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it doesn't can you tell me where I can download a proper codec. THX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robroy Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 You may have to do a google search for the codec. I think there is a prog out there that will tell you what codec you need but can't remember the nameAnyone else rememberJD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Hi,Look here and download the codec package it should have all the codecs you need for almost every file type including avi files. So download it and then see if it will play the video.http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Cannon Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 The codecs cost money which I don't want to spend. Aren’t there free codec packages? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

X-Cannon Posted September 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Nope still wont work I don't know why because all the other mpeg, avi all those workfine but this one won't. Also I don't think its corrupt because the audio part works but I just can't see anything.P.S. What are Bin files and if I have one how can I install it? THX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 bin is a binary file for burning to cd, a cue file is needed usually for these. Try this avi converter.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
