VLC Media Player

I've been having difficulty playing my AVI file in Windows Media Player because of the codec that was missing. So I installed XVid in my computer. Still having problems.

I tried it with QuickTime Player but it also prompted for a missing codec.

So I installed DivX instead and tried to play it with DivX Player. To my delight, the video played. But with no sound!

I searched through DivX' online help and found an article stating that I run GSpot to check if I have the correct codec for my video/audio. So I installed GSpot and ran the program. I got this "Failed to connect output pin on AVI Splitter" message when I tested for the audio codec. Yet the program told me that I had the correct audio codec.

So as a last resort (thank God!), I downloaded VLC Media Player, which had its own codec and voila! I can watch my AVI file now! Whew!
