I don't have necessery codec to play - Computers & Internet

It maybe you don't have the right codecs to play DVD DIVX AVI etc so download the codecs from:
http://www.free-codecs.com/Video_Codecs.htm

checkout this first
- check the speed of the processor (above 2.2 ghz core 2 duo and above)
- the harddisk capacity (250Gb and above)
- if the operating system is geniune
- if the cd/dvd drive can play n write both cds and dvds
- check tha memory (Ram) capacity (2Gb and above)
- check the functionality of both keyboard n mouse
Then if all is well your good to go

Hi, you can download this codec from here:

http://www.digital-digest.com/software/download.php?sid=1052&ssid=0&did=1

After you have installed this you can play dvd in the windows media player.
And don`t mess with the settings in this program.

You can download the latest drivers from here:

Have patience the page takes time to load.

You may have to install this:

http://www.java.com/en/download/

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

There is also a another player you can download and install:

This player plays anything.

Hope this will help you.

The video file you have might be encoded with a codec you don't have installed.
There are codec packs which cover the most of them, so that media players can play videos.
You can try downloading the most popular I know, k-lite codec pack from here. And try to play the video again.

If you don't want to mess with codecs and stuff, you can always try downloading vlc media player, that plays nearly anything without the need of separate codecs.

Unfortunately a lot of people have this problem but nobody could find a fix for this. Sorry.

Install a codec pack like

That's what we call a Fake Video which means it's a fake video which would temp you to download some codec or buy a codec and you'll be directed to their website, suspiciously a malware/spyware infected site etc.. Usually the file sizes of those files are of similar CD quality video size, but their length is less than a minute or so. Sometimes, they even tell people to buy a software to play which in fact never play. In other words, those posters and trackers are Spammers.
Don't every try to follow the given link. I guess you must be seeing a link in the video to get that codec. If you are a frequent torrent user, you better note the users comments and ratings before you begin downloading them.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

I'm thinking that your version of Windows doesn't have the proper codecs to play the video.
