the times avi files only play sound .. no video - the only info I get is from
media player when opening the file - it says there was an error in opening
the codec .. how do I fix this

Download the Gspot Codec tool (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/)

It will tell you what Codec the file is compressed with.

Then find that codec and download/install.

My bet the file is using DIVX or Xvid, but the Gspot tool will tell you.

Take care.
