need computer help

Ok so I need some computer related help - I recorded some video using my GoPro motorsports cam at the ice races. It records in avi format. when I run it on windows media player I have video but no audio. if I run it on quicktime I get both video and audio. This is on a computer running vista. what can I do to get windows media player to output audio? am I missing a codec or something?

 

Need codec.
Maybe AC3?
Not sure but need audio codec for the file.

Use Gspot to find it.

 

problems:
1. Vista
2. Windows Media Player

use Quicktime, Real, whatever and problem solved.

 

Just download some codecs.. k-lite has sound and video codecs i believe.

 

.AVI format is usually DIVX. Download the divx codec pack, or try playing the video with VLC player.

 

yea i need to edit it though. i can't get adobe premiere to open the files (maybe someone can tell me how to do that? lol give me a typewriter) so i'm stuck with windows movie maker which also has no audio output

 

well I downloaded divx a while ago so I have no idea. damn computers.

 

You can download a codec pack like the k-lite
if that doesn't fix, download Gspot, open the video with Gspot, it'll tell you what audio format the video is using, find the codec for that, install, should work.

 

+1

gspot will tell you what audio codec you need.

 

thanks for the quick help guys. I'll try some things and let you know what happens

 

Carl Ftw!

 

downloaded klite, ran gpsot - said all codecs were installed. still not working. windows media player ftl. now to try to see if i can get premiere to open the avi files

 

if nothing, quick fix, toss comp out the window and go slap microsoft silly

 

downloaded a media converter and converted the files and it worked

 

use VLC player... works with everything but yeah you need to find and upgrade some codecs...
