Video playback in Windows Player 10

[yoxi]

My Windows Media player 10 is trying to play some video clips as songs rather
than video clips. This has only recently happened. Do I need to purchase some
decoder to fix it or is there a down oad for it?

Any advice gratefully recieved.

You need to find out what decoder is required, and install it.

To see what codec you need, use GSpot... available at
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ (open the video up in GSPot)

Then you'll see what codec you need by looking up the fourcc code.

Google the fourcc code, and you should be able to find a link to the most
updated version of the codec, which with any luck, should resolve the issue
you are having.
