Can't view videos wth Media Player

Yo, anybody know why the videos I watch freeze up in Windows Media Player? The vid starts, freezes on the first frame, but I can still hear the audio. It's driving me nuts!!

Try saving the vid to disk, then watching it from there.

I see that occasionally. I save the file to disk and then try various players. Usually between Windows Media Player, Win Amp, QuickTime and DivX Player I can get something to work.

Is it a canon problem? I found that my avi's could only be read with the software that comes with the camera, that then can export to something that is readable by all.

But this worked for me but might not for you.

Change the .avi to a .mpg extention. Its baffeled me how it works, the contents is still exactly the same way but the aproach to reading it must chage.

However i could view them in Media player + Quicktime, it was Abd Prem that was causing the problem, and thats how i solved it.

Winamp play vids?

I know dude the same thing is hapening to me but its only certain vids. I'm gonna try what Adam Smith just said. I dont know what it means but i'm going to try it none the less.
