Codecs, Codecs, Codecs...... .
Download and install G-Spot Codec Identifier from http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ If G-Spot tells you it's XVID, you'll need the codecs from www.xvidmovies.org If G-Spot tells you it's DIVX, you'll need the codecs from www.divx.com -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/Windows "MS" wrote in message ...

Thank you Cari.
I downloaded and installed G-Spot Codec Identifier but they are asking me for a file name, while I am looking to see videos from off the internet (like recipe videos from Cooking websites) e.g.http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/re_video_of_the_day. What am I doing incorrect? Pls help MS "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Codecs, Codecs, Codecs...... .

Let's have a look and see what format video they are using.... Hmmm, it
comes up with an embedded Windows Media Player on my PC but they are using an MP4 format. Do you have Quicktime installed as well as WMP? I obviously have the codecs for MP4 but I'm not sure what application installed them on my PC.... According to the MS KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992/en-us# I know I do have the Indeo Codecs installed because I remember buying the download. I think the best thing to do is contact the Food Network and ask what they suggest. They may have a free download for you that supports MP4 or be able to tell you exactly which MP4 codecs they are using. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/Windows "MS" wrote in message ...

The Windows XP Codec pack includes FFDShow MP4 codec. It will likely do the
trick. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/XP_Codec_Pack.htm -- -Wojo MVP - Windows Digital Media Wojo's Web: www.wojos-web.co.nr "MS" wrote in message ... Thank you so much for your input.
