You should see an exclamation mark (!) next to the name in the menu to the right. Click on it, and with a little luck you'll be able to find the name of the codec. With this information you can then proceed to find and download the codec from the Internet.

ok,ill try that, it senty me to the microsoft help page..ineed acodec called "rgb4"..


No gpood, it tells me "The codec you are missing is not available for download from this site. You might be able to find it on another site by searching the Web for "{E436EB79-524F-11CE-9F53-0020AF0BA770}" (this is the WaveFormat or FourCC identifier of the codec). " so i of course did that and got nothing that helped me.

Well DOSBox 0.65 actually should have that codec bundled. It can be installed from DOSBox start menu group. (Video subfolder)

Yes the movies created with DOSBox need a video codec included with DOSBox itself, the problem is... My instalation link in Start > DOSBox-0.65 > Video reads, "Install movie codec (WinXP and Win2000 Only)." So if you use Win98 you might actually be stuck.

Aha, so DOSBox detects your operating system and links to the appropriate codec accordingly. So you shouldn't have any problems. And yet you have. Sorry, it worked for me.

K-Lite Codec Pack + Media Player Classic should play most movies.
You can also try using VirtualDub to convert the video to a different format.

yes, but i meant that he has problem with his player, since he had problem with downloading codecs via it

freeware codecs[/b]

[The Fifth Horseman]

K-Lite Codec Pack is freeware, and contains all codecs within the package.
