A little help please! WMM woes...

[starrylizard]

OK, so WMM keeps asking for a codec each time I try to use an AVI file, then it says it's downloaded it and that if I can't use the file then i should restart the program. I do and it still doesn't work...instead it says that it's downloading the codec and the whole thing repeats.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I be changing the AVI files to a different format or something? I'm so annoyed, because I was finally going to try to start vidding tonight. I think I've figured out most of the necessary buttons in WMM to make a start and I can't.

*frowns*
*lip wobble*

Help? Please?
Anyone?


EDIT: WOO YEAH BABY! It works, it works! It's ALIVE!!! Mwahahahahahaha!

*cackles with glee and dances about the room*

I don't know what made it work exactly...DivX or restarting or whatever...but in the words of the Rodney "I really don't care!".

THANKYOU lovely flist! Only problem is now it's 10pm and I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is a new day though!

That is really weird. And no, you don't need to change them into a different formet - avi files work fine with my WMM.

Have you got Div X? I mean, you probably have the codecs for it (since you can play the files) but, if you don't have the whole thing already, maybe it'll make a difference.

Um Please explain?? I went to the site. Do I download the program or something and what does it do? *clueless*

Div X player. A lot (most) of the avi files of Stargate (the good ones, anyway) are in the Div X codec. Downloading the player gets you all of those codecs.

AH I see now! I shall download that next then. It sounds like a perfectly sound suggestion. :D
