another codec ? [hem]

[insane2000]

downloaded a movie file (MIB II) from kazaa and trying to open it the player only shows an errormessage instead of playing it (no video and no sound)

the filename starts with [HEM]
it seems to me that it is another kind of (smr) or {tmd} or something like this

were can i get the codec or program to play this file
does somebody know something about this ?

In order to determine which codec(s) you need for a particular .AVI, you should do the following:

1) Load the file into VirtualDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (both video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

Video Codec of APvc is the same as MS MPEG-4 v1...

but why does it not play the file ?
could you give me a link for the codec i need ?!

Since it is the same as MS MPEG-4 v1, you can use the AVI FourCC Changer tool to change the APvc to MP41 :

This will make the file playable without needing to install any codecs, as long as Windows Media Player is installed (since WMP 6.4 or newer comes with the MS MPEG-4 v1, v2 and v3 codecs).

You can try this tool as well :

I think the AngelPotion codec uses the FourCC code APvc, although just like the DivX 3.11 Alpha codec, they all use a hacked version of the MS MPEG-4 codec.
