i recently got AVP(an mpeg version, Alien vs Predator TVCD DVDrip LD) from a torrent site, and it wont run. It tries to locate a codec, but has an error when downloading it. its known as "You've encountered error message C00D109B while using Windows Media Player" on the microsoft web page. Some boards say try gettin mpeg-2 decoder,etc. but the sites want 20 bucks for this decoder thing and i dont even know if it will work. can anyone help me out with these damn codec issues.

Error’s C00D109A/C00D109B/C00D109C[/I] or One or more codec's required to play the file could not be found or Some of the codec's required by this media are not installed on your system can have a few different solutions depending on exactly what you are playing or try to play in Windows Media Player.

If you are not completely sure
about what video codec’s are or do I would suggest installing ffdshow (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53761&package_id=59355&release_id=255667).* This
is a simple DirectShow filter (also called a codec or decoder) that will decode
(allow you to play) DivX, XviD, 3ivX, and more.

or MPG Files - Troubleshooting Playback<o:p></o:p>[/B]
Reinstalling DirectX (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx?url=/windows/directx/downloads/default.htm)
will overwrite quartz.dll and re-register the file in Windows.* quartz.dll
is the MPEG-1 Decoder that WMP will default to.

Reinstalling your MPEG-2 or
DVD decoder would be the next step.* Windows
Media Player does not include an MPEG-2 decoder.* If
you can get this error for a few MPEG files, there is a chance they are MPEG-2
video.* WinDVD and PowerDVD are two
examples of software that would install MPEG-2 decoders that Windows Media
Player can use.* You would want to
reinstall that application in order to reinstall the decoder.
