      In order to determine what codec is required for playback, open file in Virtual/nandub and go to File -> File Information. Post what you see here.

          i get this error message when i used virtualdub

          Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unknown)
          VirtualDub requires a video for windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShows codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player are not suitable

          ( This was the file which has sound but no picture )

          the other file which i can't lpay in win media or divx alpha has the following

          Video stream

              Ensure that you have both the XviD and DivX 5.02 codecs installed.

              By the way, your other file appears to be a fake...

                      Not fake, just very short on key frames , either the index got lost somewhere or it was encoded by a total newbie
