    I recommend the K-Lite Codec Pack: http://codecguide.com

    This codec is old and broken and won't work properly.

    You will not be able to get this codec to work *fully* on Windows pretty
    much no matter what. You would want to ask the content provider to reencode
    it to a different codec, not try to play that much of content, or play it on
    an older machine.

    As far as I'm aware this is one of the older codecs with serious bugs that
    correspondingly has limited/broken functionality, sorry.

    try installing powerDVD, that has a decoder that you might be missing on you computer.
    also installing the K-lite codec pack shouldnt hurt :P
