When I try to play a video in media center it says "One or more codecs
required to open this could not be found" The vid works on media player 11.
I think it uses the divx codec and mabe AC3... Any ideas?

This is an AVI file, right? If so, download GSpot:

http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

and have it analyze the file. You'll probably need these codec (avoid
codec packs, they'll just **** everything up)

XViD: for recent DiVX/XViD movies
http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml
AC3: audio codec
http://ac3filter.sourceforge.net/
ffdshow: for older DiVX (div3) movies
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow

If you're running a beta build, updating the codec packages may not
work.
