It just doesn't work

[Sucer]

I have the Windows media player file of the cw DM vs. FoR but I can't play it! I perhaps require a codec or something, but my computer is too noob to find such a thing. Any tips what might be wrong and how can I fix it?

I really really wanna see the cw.

[Camou]

Maybe try DivX or something?

[cooba]

Does GpW vs TF work for you?

[KRSplat]

Yeah, you need a codec. Search for one for its filetype.

[cooba]

The GpW vs TF record apparently requires XviD, so you should try that one first.

[Torkell]

Get hold of the GSpot Codec Information Utility from http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ and open the file with that. It'll tell you what the file is and what codecs you need to make it work.

Maybe you should download the k-lite codec pack (google for it). if you have this, you will never need a codec again :)

[Torkell]

Bad idea, codec packs tend to have all sorts of problems. Conflicting codecs, incompatible codecs, illegal codecs, etc.

[Stijn]

Nonsense. The K-Lite codec pack is pretty useful (and popular) and contains a lot of the most popular codecs, so probably just installing that will probably make itpossible to play the video.

[Jojo]

I installed K-Lite on many different machines and it is very stable - I never had problems. Are you living in the past? ^^

[Torkell]

No, I merely decided not to install a codec pack that contains lots of unneeded and potentially buggy junk. How many MPEG-1 decoders do you need anyway? Let's see, according to http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm for the full pack there's four MPEG1/2 decoders, three AC3, two AAC, two MP3, and more demuxers than you can shake a stick at. Oh, and last I knew the 3ivx AAC decoder is not free, and I doubt they've got permission from Cyberlink and InterVideo to distribute their codecs. There's a fair chance the Fraunhofer MP3 codec included is the hacked one as well.

[Jojo]

I didnt install the codecs i dont need anyway. Ya know, K-lite is a VERY good and high-quality codec pack which lets you select all the codecs you need. and no codec is buggy, it is well coded

[Jojo]

Nope, but I like the K-Lite Codec Pack... Let's get back2topic...
