    Which Video Codec?

    Hello,
    I downloaded an episode of a TV show in AVI format, but it doesn't run (no audio or video). I assume that I don't have the right codec, but I don't know which codec to install. Is there some kind of program that will read the header info in an AVI (is there header info?) and tell me what codec is needed?

    Thanks
    -George

    Try installing DivX or XviD. They are the big ones.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    Also, get the kazaa codec pack and search for a program called gspot (also from kazaa), gspot tells you which codec(s) a movie file uses.
