I finally downloaded Initial D Stage 4 Episodes 5-6, (i got them from http://www.chooyen.com) but now when i go to play them in windows media player it says error downloading codec, and in Divix player is says "Failed to open file. Please check that this is a valid AVI or MPEG-4 file." I really want to see this but i dont' know why it won't work, sorry i'm like computer illetarate, and any help you can give me would be great.

Does anyone know where i could download the right codecs, or a program that will let me watch this.Thanks

tell me the properties on the file your trying to play. Just right click on the file and go to properties and tell me the letters after the period

You need codecs.

Look for those codecs online and install and it should work. If you want, I can send you the install files over e-mail or something.

its what you get when you don't have proper codecs.

And it's also what you get with Windows.
