I recently got some single loop walk files off the alt.binaries.3d.poser newsgroup that wouldn't play with the new windows media player. It turned out to be old player codec from windows 3.1. Media player won't even go get indeo codec files last time I checked although it still will use them if you install them. Indeo and DivX are both in competition with Media player, Real Audio, Quicktime, etc. They won't help each other so you have to help yourself. You can go to their sites and get them. A friend of mine keeps a page with the URL username and password to DriverGuide at the above link. I just checked and the link still works. Old media player is much more forgiving and will try to play files that are made right but don't have the right file info in the header. The registry opens media player for .avi extensions but you can invoke the old windows media from your windows/system directory if it's still there and open files with it. As long as video editing packages cost thousands while there are virtualy free packages using hand made codecs there isn't going to be an easy solution. I'm afraid you'll just have to keep loading codecs till you find the one that works.
