i tried playing an avi file in Windows Media Player and it said there was an error with the codec. I thought it was a bad file but it has also happened with a bunch of other videos. I downloaded the newest version of WMP and now it aquires a codec but all i get is the sound and the animations that you can choose.

You're probably going to want to download the divx codec if you haven't already. That may not be the one you need, but I'd guess it probably is.

gspot can identify most codecs

download open the file with gspot and it will tell you what codec the avi is encoded with.
