Layer 3 Codec?
Hi all
Ive just been given a home video from a friend in the USA on CD, but its in MPEG Layer-3 mode. Does anyone know where I can download the necessary codec for Windows Media Player 8.0 (XP Pre Installed)? I have downloaded about 5 different codecs and still no luck. I get the sound but no picture at all. If anyone has one they can send me, please let me know as well. Many thanks Karl |

Ive downloaded the latest WMP and still no luck. Ive downloaded the Codecs from Microsoft and installed and still no luck.
WMP keeps sending a request for a codec and it dont ever get sent and an error occurs.... Any further ideas on a Mpeg Layer 3 Codec for WMP? Anyone know where to download them from? Thanks again |

MPEG Layer 3 is an audio layer in video layers. The reason why you're only getting sound is because it isn't a video file. It's an MP3 file.

The same file shows the video on my girlfriends computer, and the exact same file only plays sound on my computer. What codex do I need as this IS a video, and where do I get it?

Thanks very much for your help. I just got a new codec setup from my brother. It was the Nimo setup as suggested before, but this one was a newer one and it worked!
Ill download that one as well though just to test it out as I dont really like WMP. Thanks for all the help guys, it was really appreciated! Karl |
