Need help viewing video of Dean in Montana. Just get audio.

This is the strangest thing. I have not run into this before.

From Dean's cheery pre-dinner meeting there in Montana. This is almost 5 megs, but there is a whole 26 minute one the same way...it says "video", but I only get "audio."

I have not run into this before.

Left in the West's originator, now part of ProgressMontana, is helping Democracy for Montana with its bandwidth, so I won't link to the DFA Montana site right now. Very slow.

The DFA site did say you might need to download this:
http://www.videolan.org /

SO what is going on here? I have a very up-to-date Windows Media which plays avi files, but why are they saying video when it is audio? I am very good at things like this, but I am stymied. I have the 26 minute one downloaded, but it is also audio, not video. And no, I am not crazy. They do call it video. :shrug:

1. Me too...

I was informed that I needed to install DivX codecs to view the video portion. Could this be your problem also?

2. That site I linked in the OP mentions divx. Maybe I should download?

Now that I think of it I don't know much about avi files.
