   You need to get some codec's to play the video. Codecs are basicly instructions for your media player which tell it how to de-code the video. Without them it cannot show the picture, but it will still play the sound because it is encoded with something like mpeg layer 3 which anything can play. I don't know what kind of encoding the videos are using, so I cant realy recomend a specific codec to download. I have heard this program is usefull though, it tells you which codecs you need, and proberbly gives you a link to download them: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ :)
