Default Computer people (codecs)

ok, i've been trying all day to get a codec pack that will play some of my videos. i've downloaded Ace Mega Codecs v6.03, but to no avail. i just can't get it to work. i used to have v4.31 before a computer crash but i lost it. d'oh. everything worked fine then. i've also tried k-lite codec pack v2.54. nae luck there either.

its a bad day, and i wanna watch sin city!

any recommendations for a pack that will play anything... would be much appreciated. or maybe some help on getting the Ace Mega pack to work? i dunno...

What file type is it in? From that you know what codec pack to get for that exact file type, although an all-in-one should do the job.

The easiest and best thing to do is download the vlc player, www.videolan.org
If that doesn't play the file, it's pretty likely to be fucked It plays all...

go to www.afterdawn.com and click on the download tab at the top of the page, then go to codecs, you should find a pack that has what you need there.

use the utility g-spot to tell you which codec is being used by the clip
then install/re-install codec and reboot
