Codec problem in Fraps?

[Skiz]

I've just begun using Fraps, but I can't play any of the videos I've created. I get the windows message stating:


Windows Media Player cannot play the file. One or more codecs
required to play the file could not be found.

I have the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.0, but I figured any codecs needed to play the .avi files it creates, would have been included with the software. :unsure:

Ideas?
Suggestions?

It's a good wayto take videos if you can get them to play. :dry:

Have you tried to use other player or open it in VirtualDub?
Also run gspot to see how this video is rendered at your sustem.

I haven't tried virtualDub but I did try Media Player Classic and VideoLan. I have also atempted to run GSpot as it comes with the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, but it only gave me the container info and nothing else. :unsure:

Well I figured I'd try VirtualDub just for the heck of it and it worked. I was able to open the video file and compress it into a DivX avi file that I can now view in WMP.

Thanks for the tip Syrup. ;)

Use VLC, WMP blows.
