I cannot play back
video clips by
using Windows
Media Player.
The MPEG-4 video compression
method is in the XviD format.
If the XviD codec is not installed, it
might not be able to play back the
video clips on your computer.
Make sure you are using Windows
Media Player 9.0 or above. Be sure
to install the free MPEG-4 codec
driver in advance, available from
bundle software or XviD web site:
http://www.xvidmovies.com.
