Can't view a video? You probably need a codec

[posol]

Codec- or a term used to describe "Code and Decode" is what allows your machine to read a video format.

There's lots out there- windows media, divx, ace, and 1000s of others.

http://download.technet.cz/sw_mp3soft/klcodec205f.exe ( 8 MB) is a good codec PAK. theres just about everything in there you need to see.

I personally didn't download that exe- so I claim no warranty to the results of your system by installing said codec pak.
make sure you have virus scanners up. But, its on a Checz technet site- so i imagine its legit.

I guess it's time to un-stick this one. WTF is a codec anymore? lol everything is html5 or flash embeds these days.
when's the last time you DL'ed a WMV? lol

But codecs are still pretty important.
