Don't Let Movie Troubles Get You Down... On This Page I'm
Going To Try & Walk You Thru Everything As Best I Can.

1) You Are Downloading the .AVI Incorrectly 2) You Are Just Missing A Simple Video Or
Audio Codec 3) The File Was Corrupted During Your Download 4) The File Simply
Does NOT Work and will never play right.

Avi Movie Files Work A Bit Differently Then Mpeg or Wmv Movie Files. One Big Difference Is That
They DO NOT Start Playing As You're Downloading Them.
The Avi Movie File Must Be Completely Downloaded Before You'll Be Able To View It.
To Do This Easily: Right Click The Movie Link Or Image &
"Save Target As..."
Once You Have Saved
The Complete File On Your HardDrive: Double Click To Play With Window's Media Player
Don't Have The "Save Target As..." Option When You Right Click?
To Learn How To Fix This problem On Your PC CLICK HERE
You have a MAC?
Internet Explorer or AOL: Choose the desired link, click and hold left mouse button. Choose “Download Link to Disk” and download the file to your hard drive.
Netscape: Choose the desired link, click and hold left mouse button. Choose “Save Link As” and download the file to your hard drive.


Codec(s) Are A Method Of Video & Audio "Compression/Decompression"
They Are Used To Make Video Files Much Smaller Is KB Size (so it will take much less time to download) & Without Loosing Any Image Quality. (often Mpegs are reduced in quality to reduce their KB size)
Why Do You Need Them? Well If You Want To View Many Higher Quality Movies On The Web... It's A Must!
If You DO NOT Have The Correct Codec To View An Avi Movie File: You'll Get An Error Message Saying Something Like This "Unexpected File Format"

Well Here's A Handy Little Program You Might Want To Install To Help You Find Out What's Wrong With A Movie File.
It's Called G Spot - DOWNLOAD HERE
Once Downloaded & Installed It Can Help Tell You If The File Is Incomplete & What Codec(s) You Need To Play The File.

Here Are ALL The Codecs You'll Need For ~99% Of Avi Movies
Download & Install Them All




Got Sound Troubles?
Try Installing These Audio Codecs

You Have Downloaded And Installed The Above Codec(s) & The Movie You're Trying To Play Still Doesn't Work???
It's Possible That
The File Was Messed Up While You Were Downloading it... It Doesn't Happen Often
(Unless Your Connection Is Frequently Interrupted) But It Can Happen.
To Rule
Out This Possibility Install The G Spot Program & Try To Play It.
Or Try Re-Downloading & Playing The Movie Or Try Playing
Another .AVI Movie file & See If That Plays For You. Remember To Right Click &
"Save Target as..."

If A Certain Movie Still Won't Play... (while most other avi files do play for you) The File Is Probably Corrupted.
If It's One Of My Free Or Member's Area Movies, Please CONTACT ME And Tell Me
Location & The Name Of The File.
I'll Check It Out ASAP.
