    Hi there, downloaded a few vids (avi's I think) and some of them play without sound. I already have DivX codec installed, any other recommendations?

    My usual answer to this question: Get CCCP or K-Lite.

    Yeah, K-Lite Standard Pack should be fine, as it has almost all decoders in it.

    You can try out VLC player first, and see if the vids play fine in it.
