AVI file.. and Windows Media Player

[CyberTiger]

I have windows media player 6.4. and some avi files. but i can't play them.
I get the error:
The decompressor, a file that enables you to play multimedia content and should have installed automatically, failed to install. (Error=80040200)

how do i fix this?

Don't know if this helps. But I had a similar problem and was told to get "DivX Codec" and install it. I got it from this place DivX Codec. It seemed to help me.

i have a few avi files that i want to play and after downloading the DivX Codec, some play but the others only play sound and no video... anyone knows what's going on?

i tried it on Real Video... it doesn't have video output neither.

Cybertiger: Are they movies? They are probably SMR. You need another little thing to get those to play. I can email or something to you if ya want.

eagle__2: I am having the same problem as CyberTiger - I have some avi files that are divix I think (vcd). I can play most of my divx files using the Divx Alpha Codec 3.1 or something, however some of my movies attempt to contact MSFT to get a codec in Media PLayer 6.4 - can anyone help me out? Just email me a link to a codec if that is what I need. You mentioned some other prog or something in your previous post...Thanks!

Well if you want it you'll have to post your email. You don't have icq, profile enabled, prive messages enabled...
