I have a question about an audio codec for an .avi video file.

[fbiwicked]

i recently downloaded a movie and it is in .avi format

i have had no problems in the past watching these movies

i use the DivX player program and i also have windows media 9 series
i can see the movie and it plays through fine, but it says that i need a different sound codec to listen to it

the error message reads:
The video file you are opening includes audio data that is not recognized by the DivX Player.

The file contains the following type of data:

Audio data: Tag 8192

You may need to install a new audio codec on you computer to listen to the audio. You can either stop playback now or watch the video without the audio.

im not sure where to find this codec and/or how to use it

i would appreciate any information

You can download gspot.exe to identify the codecs needed, as well as find sources for the codec.

Try a program called AllPlayer. It doesn't rely on Windows Media Player codecs. If you play a movie that uses a codec that you don't have, AllPlayer will tell you what codec you need and prompt you to download it automatically. You can get it here:

So far, I have yet to stump it!!

I forgot to mention that if you're like me and have grown to like the player you already have installed, AllPlayer is still great to have because after you download and install the missing codec, the other players on your system will be able to use them.
