Codec Problem Or Corrupt File?

[Capt.Harlock]

I down loaded a few video files and they had sound but the picture was mostly pink with a few vertical lines. It is like trying to watch a move through blinds. Thanks.

download the klite codec pack and videolan, codec pack has bs player and gspot, between the bsplayer and videolan you can play anything and the gspot you can use to see if the files are real or fake, you can also use videolan for preview your files.
videolan (http://www.videolan.org/)
go here to add it to tools and preview menu (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=72521)
look for codec pack full (http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/mirror.htm)
