AVI file works in Windows XP, but not in Win2000, how can I find out what codec it uses?

[Razorwyre]

I have a large AVI file that worked on my friend's windows XP machine. He upgraded from win98, so I am not sure if the codec he used was downloaded, or if it was bundled with XP. In any case, I cannot seem to get the video to work on my computer, not matter what codec I download. Windows media player 7.1 will not download the correct one automatically either. Is there any way I can find out what codec with file requires?

Go do a search on the "Nimo" codec pack on google.. that should help you.
