its plays on media player but without the sound! someone please help me to be
able to hear the sound too! it says there is a codec missing but i dont know
how to get the right one. i have downloaded a few things which say it can do
it but i dont know how to use them! please help!



GSpot is a program which can identify the code name ("4CC code") that
a video decoder is known by : http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

Download and install that, open the AVI fie in GSpot using the File ->
Open menu, click Render, then write down the audio (and video) codec
details shown in GSpot.

Post them back in this newsgroup and I'll try to find a decoder you
can use to play the AVI file back in media player.
