I recently made a data disc of recent "Lost" episodes(not entirely sure which type of file as I don't know how to check because it basically just says 'video clip' under type) and for some reason my friend can not play these video files even though they work on my computer. There is audio but no video. I am sure they have to download some sort of codec but i am unsure.

Anyone know how to solve this at all?

If you're not using Media Player 10, download it from Microsoft Update. Try googling "K-Lite Codec pack", downloading and installing it... then reboot.

If that doesn't work try switching it off and back on again.

To see what filetype it is, look at the file extension. If there isn't one:

1] Click MY COMPUTER
2] From the menubar TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS
3] Click the VIEW tab at the top
4] Untick the box HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE-TYPES
5] Click OK
6] Go back the the folder with your video in it and press the F5 key to refresh.

This will show all file extensions from now on.

Cloud helped me on it but if it's still not working i'll try this.

Tell your friend to download VLC.

It's the only thing I'll use to play downloads, it'll play pretty much anything, even if Windows Media spits it out.

Camie, doing something illegal?
