Hey Adam try this http://www.pcw.co.uk/downloads/1157193 It's Codec finder... you drag the video file into the program and it tells you which codec you need. You then Google the name of the codec is list's and download the codec.

Only advice I can give ya.

K-Lite Codec Pack... all-in-one file. Includes all video and audio codecs you'll ever need.

edit: Handy utility SuperChuckles... I've been looking for something like that.

Thanks for the program Jordon, unfortunatly it still won't work. It says I have the Codec required to play it.. but it still won't work. I am at a loss.

Is it a movie your trying to play or just some normal video clip?

Normal video clip.

Well you might want to try the Xvid Codec if you haven't already. Before you do that though try this, I use Ace Divx Player which plays any videos, even ones that WMP or realyplayer can't, so you could give it a try. Thats all I can think of right now so good luck.

Edit: ACE video player link

Is your movie porn, if so the problem is your left mouse button being stuck down.

Unfortunatly it is not porn.

Thanks Mike_, I will give that Ace player a try.

Interesting...

I would recommend using a player other than Windows Media Player. Sometimes I will have the codec installed, but for some reason WMP won't play it. Have you tried the DivX player?

No no no! Do not use a player like Divx player!

There is one player available called VLC which has built in codecs for nearly everything. It's a little unwieldly but I've never had problems playing a file.

Another good player is Media Player Classic with DefilerPak installed.

VLC Media player is awsome... It plays videos without incident 99% of the time...
