I got tihs video, it's an AVI extension, and I'm viewing in WMP, but I don't see the video, all I hear is the audio thing!
What's wrong with this file, do I have to let the sound play all the way through before I can see the visual or something??

it could be encoded in XviD or something, I had a problem with that recently. unfortunately I can't help you much because I still can't get XviD files to play on my computer. :[

How cna I tell if it's encoded?

I got it sorted out, I didn't have DivX, but do you think it's a good idea to d/l videolan anyways?

download a codec pack or something... that should help or maybe try i think its called core video player or something like that

happened to me as well a while back, you need the divx codec, it should help

http://www.divx.com

I know! Goto http://www.anime-legion.net/
Then at the bottom left hand click the "Download and Links" button. There, you will find every codec from Xvid to Ogg format. You may want to give the "A-L Filter Pack" a try. It has almost every video filter you need to play any type of files. It allows you to play files (in OggVorbis format withthe *.avi extension); these files will let you choose to play it in either english or japanese dubs and ables you to turn the subtitles on and off. It's also a direct dvd rip. Also, this format is becoming more popular. Though my guess is that your just missing the Xvid codec; it's becoming a more popular way of encoding video files now days.

Edit: A bit random but,
Heres a tip if you don't like adware/spyware that Divx 5 gives you. Search the web for the divx4 codec, then download the latest Xvid codec (including the FFshow which is included in many filter packs) and install them. That in return will play all Divx 5 + files.

There use to be a real good one called the gamr codec pack, but you can't seem to find it anymore. The A-L one is good though, it works well.

Download the Gordian Knot Codec Pack. It has everything you need.
