WinAmo/avi file question

[CoMoChief]

I just finished downloading the 2003 Chiefs Yearbook torrent file and now it wont play in winamp, but the sound will play and progress bar is moving along with the video, but theres no picture. Is there any other player that will play these avi files?

AVIs are a little wonky. Evidently, not all AVIs are exactly the same, and need specific codecs. I've found that Real Player is the best at IDing what codec is needed if the file won't play right, and going out and getting it.

Sounds like you dont have the correct codec. This codec pack contains most of the popular ones and should solve your problem.
