AVICodec is one of those programs you cant really do without when you watch movie clips from all over the net. The amount of times I have had video files that I could not play because of missing audio or video codecs is quite a lot. Using Google to search for codecs was a headache as 1. You have to pay on some sites download codecs or 2. sites required you to register to download files only to spam you later. This program makes it even easier for a novice because you are not overwhelmed with the sheer number of different versions or variations your just pointed to what works. Grade A program! Easy to use and Free.

If you ever had gotten an *.AVI file that would play the sound but produce no picture, you probably do not have the codec needed to play the file. AVI files have about 300 available codecs that are not installed as part of Windows. The AVIcodec program identifies the codec that you need for your files and suggests some web sites where you might get it. However, it is usually pretty easy to find codecs using any search engine by searching for the 4 letter codec name.
