    Default Codecs

    Hey, I'm trying to download a german subtitled film off of Limewire and when I try to watch it, it says I don't have the right codec(s).

    The film is Der Untergang (Downfall). It says it's type is avi. What should I do?

    P.S. I'm also not very computer literate at all. So the basics will have to do sorry :(

    Do you think the Golden Rule should apply to masochists as well?

    92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. yes that's right i dont listen rap..

    a quick google search got me this :

    http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=avi

    So you'd need something as DivX to play it.

    I'm not fully certain I know what you want me to do with this....


    Ok, I downloaded Divx and installed it and it still doesen't work. (assuming that was supposed to fix it). Is there a specific codec(s) I can download so I can watch this? If so exactly where? I'm sorry for my computer illiteracy I'm still new to the more advanced stuff.

    Well do you have quicktime media player?

    That should make it work, if DivX didn't do the trick.

    other than that, someone else might be able to help.

    .
    If it's not DivX, it's probably XVid. Search the Google for both and download the proper codecs from their official websites.

    Also find and install VLC Media Player, which can play virtually anything made on this planet.

    For an all-time comfort :

    www.codecguide.com

    From the left-hand side menu, get K-Lite Codec Pack Full and install it on default values.. You'll barely come up with missing codecs after that..
