An video file I download doesn work / Why am I getting popups when I view videos?
Viewing some video files may require you to download and install an extra piece of software called a codec. There is also a collection of codecs at K-Lite Codec Pack. For more help determining which audio/video codecs you need, try downloading and installing GSpot Codec Information Appliance. It provides a quick way of viewing the audio and video codecs needed to play a video, and whether or not they are installed on your system. Tip: Install the free VLC media player. It supports a large number of multimedia formats, without the need for additional codecs. Getting popups is a function of Windows Media Player when playing some .wmv and .asf files. You can turn them off in menu: Tools/Options/Security. Better use a different video player like VLC media player (free). • What happens if the site is down? We strive to keep our site up 24/7/365.
