Hi

Hope no one minds me posting this here but seems to be a few people including me that downloaded the files only to find you get sound only.

Anyway there was an error message in windows media player regarding connecting to codec and unable to connect.

After a t'internet search ive downloaded a file which must allow media palyers to play div-x type videos
