Postby Ex-Soldier777 » Thu Apr 19, 2007 3:55 pm

Well this isnt really about windows movie maker but when i try to play a file i downloaded in windows media player it says

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."

I downloaded DivX and XviD and it still dosnt work.. what codecs do i need? Thanks alot for ant help! :)

You'll need to use VirtualDubMod to convert the clips to HuffYUV, as WMM doesn't take kindly to DivX or XviD files.

Read about how to do this here.
