Missing codecs

[**Clem**]

Hi, I have a video file that I can't watch because it says that one or more codecs are missing. Can anyone tell me what this means and anything I can do about it? Many thanks, Clem x

Go to a free download site (such as download.com) and do a search for 'codecs' . Packages for most players are available.

Yes!! It works! You have no idea how happy you've made me. I may have to start a BillyBB for World Leader campaign.
Thank you so much, Clem x

download vlc media player......plays everything.
its a free dl and is well worth it as it wont be long before you need another codec !

Hi MattK, where can I get this download? Ive tried searching Yahoo for VLC but it takes me to a monthly subscription site, can I just get the player free somewhere?

Thanks
