Window NT 4.0 question

Hello all,
I'am new to the boards. Currently studying for my MCSA 2000.
I don't know too much tech about NT 4.0. (Work comp)
I was wondering why sometimes I try to play a video hosted by someone else, I get this error saying "Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found".?

Is it because it's a company/work computer and the firewall/security enforced?

Thanks,

 

Probably because the mediaplayer you are using is 6.4, which doesn't support the newest formats introduced with mediaplayer 7,8,9.

You can try to install this codec pack from Microsoft (if you are allowed at work):

If the movie files you are having problems with have the .avi extension then you probably need the MPEG4 codecs:

DIVX
XVID

 

Hey, thanks snakefoot.
That allowed me to play both videos!
