open eyes :)

maybe you have wrong codes, try some codec pack (CCCP for example), its easier than manually downloading & installing codecs

BTW, zoomplayer autodownloads missing codecs or not? Did it work before? Did you change some codec settings?

Nope. ^^
Especially since some file extensions actually designate container formats that can use all kinds of different codecs.

Personally, on my quest to finding a good codec pack, I stumbled upon the XP Codec Pack, which, contrary to its name, works on all Windows systems. =)

http://www.xpcodecpack.com/

I like it because it doesn't feel bloated and has a nice site and a polished installer, which communicate to me that a lot of effort has been put into it.

I used the K-Lite codec pack before but its editions contain either too many or too few features, IMHO, without telling the user which codecs are the most likely to appear.

I think the video is simply corrupted...

It's not detecting your codecs, prolly your registery is fked up.

Have you tried installing the K-lite codec pack?

Btw, which OS u run ?

Yep, looks like Vista.

Can you download the following tools and tell us if they detect the codecs on the system (GSpot analyzes the files) or any problems?

http://paul.glagla.free.fr/filmerit_en.htm

They have been very useful to me in the past and I always keep them around.
