Default Paging computer geeks...

So, I downloaded an .avi file (Clone high episode 11, if you must know) and the damn thing won't play the visual part. I get audio just fine. This happens in two different versions of the same file.

I can watch all of the other episodes of the same show, no problem. Anyone know why the video is not working? On one version, it trys to download a new codec and fails, while in the other it is just black screen. Audio is perfect in both.

I have tried multiple players, but mainly WMP 9.

Anyone?

you probably need a divx codec, search for divx codecs on google.
