| | avi codec for Window Media Player on Vista I keep getting a codec error when I try to use Media player for watching video files. Unsupported codec. They are AVI. What is the best/safest way to view these. I tried a couple things to no avail. Is this an extra safeguard with Vista? I can view them on my XP equipped machines. Thanks much!! |

| | Re: avi codec for Window Media Player on Vista You can download a small, free utility called GSpot that will analyze the file for you and tell you what codec you need. Google for it. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!
