cannot play burned movies on other PCs

[freetanz]

I have created a small movie using several clips and an
audio track. I have finalized the movie, saved it to CD
(done this twice as the first time didnt work either).
Problem: when i take my burned copy to another PC, and
windows media opens it, you hear the audio track, but the
video does not show. On the top right side of the media
player, the track name is in red along with a ! if you
look at it, it says something about codecs- can anyone
advise me on what to do?

You need to install the proper codec on the machine that you want to play
the file on. Fo you know what codec you used to burn it? If you hear audio
but have no video, that often means that the clip is divx and you need to
get the divx codec for the playback machine...

I have the same problem as OP.
Made a movie of the kids using movie maker 2 on XP
sent via email to my mum running ME
she can only get audio not video
Why is it converted to divx?
