Just downloaded a 48Meg avi file from WinMx (Animated Star Trek).
Blasted thing won't play. Unable to decompress stream or somesuch.
In properties - preview it says it needs "vids:mpg4". I assume this is a codec it needs.
Went through this last night, found it no problem on Google. Worked fine.
Can't find this one no how.
