ive got an avi file, i changed its codec from DIV3 to XVID using abcAvitag. when i play the file using vlc media player it doesnt play the video, i can only hear the sound, is there a way to change the codec WITHOUT converting the whole avi file?

In a word, no. Codec is a shortening for coder, decoder. Have you tried playing it with WMP with the xvid codec installed?

yes i have, doesnt work, it should play in vlc media player. i think the only way to play it with the xvid mpeg4 codec is by converting the whole avi file.

If that fails, try downloading the file again. Is it possible that it was 'healed' by your anti-virus?
