Probably a stupid question

[JDC!]

Hi, I have almost no knowledge about computers and stuff so this might sound really stupid but can anyone here tell me how I can watch this video.

When I click into the video it opens up, but I can't see the content, I can just hear the audio. Which leaves me with ...

Can anyone help?

Probably don't have the right codec to play the vid.

My recommendation would be to download and use VLC.

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

It can play just about any video format you will ever want.

^ yep do that.

I'll third that.

If that doesn't work then install the K-Lite Codec pack:

Thanks for the replies fellas. I downloaded the VLC thing and the video is working fine now.

It's not avi that's the problem it's the codec used to encode the file.
