This video isn't working and I have no clue why.

Yes. I know it sounds dumb. But I can't get this video to work!

I downloaded it from a-m-v.org and it won't work in any video programs I have. It's a .avi and I've played it in Windows Media Player, but I get that little red 'x' next to it when I play it. I get the sound, but no video. I've downloaded plenty of videos from a-m-v.org and once in a while I'll get one that just doesn't work. I have no clue why. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

It's a codec problem most likely. Check what codec the video is compressed into and check to see if you have that one installed. If not, then install it.

Definatly a codec problem. I suggest to install CCCP, because it brings you all the codecs you need for playback nearly anything. Sweet stuff :o
