I've got some avi files that WMP will play the audio for but not the video. Why doesn't WMP download the codecs it needs? Or is the solution to download a codec pack and install that manually?
In "Options > Player" the "Download codecs automatically" option is checked.
I've installed VLC so I can watch them, which I'm quite happy about so I don't need a recommendation for a new player.
I know that avi is just the container. I was wondering why WMP didn't go off and download the codecs it needs. – ChrisF – 2010-05-31T21:35:57.347
