I have six or seven episodes is .avi format, and absolutely NO idea how to play them. Media Player and QuickTime won't run the files. It say's it's missing a decompressor and can't download it, then plays only the sound. Are they damaged? Do I need Divx or something else? Thanks in advance....

Yes you need a divx Codec and then you'll be able to play the video in Windows Media Player (or any other divx player): download the codec at: http://futuramaplanet.free.fr/fullepz/kscodecsv433.zip

It is very likely that they are encoded with DivX. If you click on File>Properties it should tell you what codec it is in.

The DivX Codec is not officially supported by Microsoft, so you can't just automatically download it. It's in .exe format, just double click it and it installs. When you restart media player your files will play.

You should be able to find it in a search. If you can't find it, I can post it in the futurama binaries board.

Version 4.0 was just released, so if you see 3.11, pass.

YAHOO! Thanks to Inoshishi and Larry I can finally catch up with the last season! Maybe you geeks aren't so bad after all ;-)
