I've got an AVI file and I can't view it, help? Please?

[Connonym]

It's supposed to be a movie and I'm getting audio but no video. I have no clue what I'm doing with this. Anyone have any suggestions?

1. you need a divx codec probably

try here

2. Or maybe xvid.

And Defilerpak is a good codec pack to install in case some shit's encoded weirdly: http://hellninjacommando.com/defilerpak/

5. Thanks

I tried it and it still didn't open but Datasuspect gave me a link and that opens it. Here's hoping he didn't just make me infect my computer with all kinds of scary things ;-)

Thanks for giving me the suggestion though, I appreciate it.
