So you just got a new computer, or you reinstalled windows on your old one. You copied over all of your files, double-click on a video file, and are told that it can't be played. This usually means you need the codec for that video file. This is where Vista Codecs comes in. Available here, it will install most of the codecs that you could possibly use, including:
DivX
Ogg
Xvid
Mpeg 4
As well as many others. It should make just about anything playable by windows media player. Alternately, you could try media players with these codecs built in, such as VLC or Media Player Classic, which will be in two posts next week.
