"Playing movies"

Right, ive downloaded the latest codec pack from the microsoft website as well as numerous other codecs that ive found from google including xvid, but i still cant get a bunch of files to play (black screen no audio), is there a program out there that has loads of integrated codecs that i dont know about?

DivX

The player on that will play most movie files that other players fail to play. Can also buy (or find a download) of DrDivX which lets you encode loads of movie types etc.

Got it already im afraid, and i have DivX too, still no joy.

I thought it may be a fake, but it seems to check out ok with Gspot.

If you've got a multi display thing going on, make sure you've set it up so that your monitor is the primary one. Some only show video output on the primary display.

Nope, just the one display.

I presume you've tried loads of different players?

I vaguely remember downloading something called Window Media Tools, lets you play most media files in WMP, i think thats the one anyway...

What are you trying to play and what type of file is it?
Downloaded the codecs for DivX?
