    I've successfully downloaded various movies with Kazaa. However, when I try playing them with MS Windows Media Player I only get the audio - no video. I have no idea how to solve the problem. Can someone help me?

    Video Format
    Codec IS Installed (no details available)

    Audio Format
    Codec IS Installed (GSpot has found that the Frauenhofer IIS MPEG layer-3 codec (adavnced) will decompress this audio format. DirectShow was UNABLE to render the movie overall however, see the DirectShow for more details

    DirectShow Render
    Error number: 0x00040242
    Error name: VFW_S_Partial_Render
    Full Error Text: Some of the streams in this movie are in an unsupported format

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance

    Dear Dela

    Thanks for getting me started. In the meantime I went through several other chat forms looking for a similar posting.

    I found several people posting this problem but most went unanswered.

    I did however, find somebody who solved the problem by simply installing Media Player 9 and DIVX Pro 5.0.3. I did it and it now my movies work!

    Well obviously your movies were divx5 then because that would install the divx 5 codec!
