Black screen when trying to watch a video
August 5th, 2016
I can’t see the image of the film I’m trying to watch, I got all codecs installed.
Tried it in DivX player, VLC and Windows Media player 11, but none of them works, there is sound just no image?
Any idea what it can be?
Thanks

try the k-lite mega codec pack. it comes with like every codec ever and doesn’t eff with your computer.
it should cure the issue.

hope it helps!
If you do install the latest codec pack then make sure you remove every other codec pack and standalone codec that you installed. K-Lite Mega Codec Pack has every codec you’ll need for playback and you don’t want to have duplicate codecs installed on your PC. It might create instability. Also, make sure you get absolutely the latest K-Lite Mega Codec Pack for the best results. The latest version is 3.6.5. Good luck mate ^_^
If that doesn’t help than the problem could simply come from the video file itself.
Thanks mates
: Its not the video file, tried 5 files and it does the same it them all?
But I’ll try out that k-lite mega codec pack. thanks
Have now tried the k-lite mega codec pack. And it didn work, still only plays the sounds with no picture:(
just go to www.divx.com n download the DivX codec install it n then play
get gspot, google, it’s free, and open the file/s in it and it will tell you what codec it/they are
another free option is ffdshow(google it), the play everything (almost) codec
u could also try CCCP, its another codec pack, but u should actually check the video first mate…

Okay now I’m really confused, tried out that Gspot and the file is a XviD 1.2 SMP MPEP-4. And it says Codecs are installed
Can you split about 5mb of the video and upload it to here and we can check it out for you.
Have no idea how to split it up into a video file? :/
Download this and install the splitter

open the program use the browse option and insert the video you want to split use the marker on where and how much of the video you want to split …only split about 5mb of it and upload it.
Here’s your solution. Download and install Vista Codecs Package (it’s for XP also):

Unlike other codecs packs, it will install only the codecs you need.
You will be able to play anything, including Flash video, in your media player.
Yup, installed that Vista pack and still no picture, seems like nothing is working:(
you have the latest drivers for your video card
1st in gspot, did it render the video, the columns of 1-2-3 in the bottom right
2nd do any videos give a pic in any player ? try adjusting overlay controls in display drivers
3rd uninstall xvid and reinstall latest version or try installing ffdshow, it’s the codec I use for almost a AVI vids

What kind of video card are you using? If it’s a NVIDIA:
1. Go to the new NVIDIA control pa.
2. Select “Video & Television.”
3. Select “Video: Adjust video color settings.”
4. Select “Correction” tab.
5. Select “Color temperature correction: Do not use color temperature correction.”
EDIT:
Figured it out, after reading that it could be my Video control center i thought i’d give it a go and its now working. Just need to set CCC to pplictaion settings in colors:b
Its working now, thank ya all for ya help^^
Good to know it’s solved..and to get your feedback
