Solved: Windows media player audio, but no video

[srdaly2]

I recently downloaded a couple avi files, and when they open up in Windows Media Player, they just provide the audio. I ran a codec search (because is said that there was an error downloading codec) and it said that: DivX v3 MPEG-4 (Low-Motion) were Unsupported. I don't know what this means or how to fix this so I can watch the file as well as listen. Any help would be much appreciated!

Try the ffdshow DirectShow codec.
