If you can only hear the sound from the video and cannot see it, your media player needs the avi codec

Frank and I went thru that when I started doing these in-car videos and Connie Mount also.

I don’t remember what exactly we did other than using a Google search for avi codec

Here are a couple of links to try:  1    2 

 

I seem to remember that a re-boot of the PC may be needed to initialize the changes.

 

Here’s the solution from Frank Filangeri’s experience:

Clark,

 Had the same problem trying to run the vids on my work computer. 

The codec pack that actually works, VistaCodecs_V5.7.7.exe, is available at majorgeeks at the this URL:

 http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5326 

 Down load the file and install.  This pack says it is for Vista but is compatible with XP (what I have at work).  It is the same one I sent to Connie.

Post this to Yahoo for those who are having trouble with viewing the vids.

Frank
