WMP won't play avi video, Why?

[johnjohn320]

For a sec it says "attempting to download codec, attempt failed." Then it just plays the audio of the video. Why?

I could've sworn I already had DivX. is there a way to check?

http://www.divx-digest.com/ is an excellent resource for both codecs and information.

If you install ffdshow you should be able to view it.

Go to File -> Properties for the Codec name. If it's not DivX, you can dl the codec directly (do a google) and it should auto-install when you run the dl file.
