i've downloaded a couple of xvids and they have no sound. i understand xvid is just a video codec, but what are some common audio codecs used with xvid that i might need?

is it porn?

no............YES!@#



...and everyone knows that porn is nothing without sound. it's just not cricket.

What container is it? Avi/ogm/mkv? If it's an ogm the audio is probably .ogg - you should have it, if not <a href="http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central-ogg.htm">then try this one</a>.

Actually download <a href="http://www.headbands.com/gspot/download.html">Gspot</a> first and check the movie file with that - it will tell you what codecs are needed.

gspot says its ac3, but is unable to find a decoder for it. hmm. i'll go take a gander.

Ac3 comes with DVD software... I'm not sure but I don't think there's a free ac3 decoder for legal reasons, although I might be getting confused with something else there. Hold on

thank you, sir. i assumed since it wouldn't play on my computer that my xbox wouldn't play it, either, but my xbox already has xvid and ac3. killer.
