Avi - bad video quality and no sound

[Bluebear34]

Hi. I have come into possession of a xvid avi file. I can now (after installing codec pack) get some form of video playback (very slow moving and blocky) but there is no sound. Below are some notes from various programs that could and couldnt recognize the files

Prior to installing Ace Mega Codec Pack:
Media Player classic 6.4.8.2

Most probably you dont not have a proper codec (audio/video or both)

Or

File : 345 MB (0.0 B), duration: 0:02:09, type: DSH, 0 audio stream(s), quality: 88 %
Video : 345 MB, 22476 Kbps, 30.0 fps, 608*336 (16:9), YUY2 = MS UYVY, Supported

Gspot - doesnt recognize the file - unknown file type
Video converters - dont recognize or support the avi file

From the time I spent trying to fix this problem I begining to think all I am going to get is video and no sound or can sound be obtained? Is there a way to improve the video?

P.S I have installed and reinstalled codecs so this might have an affect on the poor video quality.

I eventually want to transfer it to mp3 player to watch on tv(via av cable) but first have to change formats. Is this out of the question?

Thanks for you help

uninstall all codec packs. open the file in virtualdubmod, under 'file' click 'file information'. post that info here

I have given up on this file and so have deleted it. I have come across the same file from another source and its working great.
Thanks though for you help
