hello,

ive just got a few vcd movies off a mate and tried to watch them in media player. only the sound comes up and it says i need a codec.

What is a codec and where can i download one?

If you don't feel comfortable messing with codecs download a trial version of PowerDVD, it will play them fine and so should media player after you install it
