I dl avi videos (legally of course) and the video has lines on it. You can only see the vague outline of the video. I assume this is a codex problem. My problem is that I don't really know much about them. If you have a problem, how do you know which codex you need? Is it true if you have too many codexes it can screw up your player? Are codexes specific to the player or are they independent of it?

you really only need ffdshow http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow
real alternative, quicktime alternative and media player classic, all of which are available at http://www.free-codecs.com/ or doom9

yeah, filters can interfere with each other. if you don't have any problems, i wouldn't worry about it.

it's codecs, neetch. codecs.

i like you already adulmoviefaq. seriously neetch, give mpc a shot, it's on sourceforge and absurdly lightweight and it's kosher for most shit you can throw at it.

The only complaint I have about MPC -- which is documented by them, so I can't blame them -- is they don't handle certain kinds of streaming well; so when I'm at videobox.com, WMP just streams the video, and with MPC I gotta wait for it all to download...

There is a free program you can download that is a codec detector. For some dumb reason, it's called GSpot. GSpot
It let's you know which codec was used for both the audio and video. If the file is corrupted it let's you know that too. I use it and it comes in handy.

I never had luck with g-spot, just threw the file on VLC and it played
