The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't see video in AVI files in Windows Media Player 11

Asked by donander in Windows Media Player Software MP3 Player, Digital Music and Video, Software MP3 Media Players

Tags: Windows Media Player

The other day I tried to play a .avi video shot with my Fuji Finepix 3800
camera and could only hear the sound. The video was black. It used to work fine.

The files were from several different folders on my computer (Windows XP Pro
SP3). I noticed that in some folders the thumbnail for the avi files showed a
still of the first frame. I think this is how it should be, or at least this is the most helpful way. In other folders the thumbnail showed a black square and in still other folders showed an icon of a film frame, like a 35mm frame with sprockets. Regardless of the thumbnail, they all only played
sound, no video.

I tried reinstalling WMP from Microsoft downloads but this didn't fix the
problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Please don't say to user another player. I like WMP and it works for other files, I just need to fix this problem with no video.

Actually I think it might be a codec problem because Real Player has the same problem.

Thanks
