Why Doesn't Windows Media Player play it's native format A..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

I have Windows XP Pro on my computer. I have the default
media player that came with it, 9 series. I bought a dvd
and had my friend rip it at work and turned it into a AVI
Movie file which wouldn't play at work either i tried
several times and finally had 2 download a DIVX player. I
wanna know what the error:

Error ID: 80040111

ClassFactory cannot supply requested class

means and what can I do to correct this problem. I know
the file on cd isn't corrupted cuz it played fine on the
divx player at work....I downloaded a lite version of the
divx player and it said it couldn't play it....I would
appreciate any help thanxs email me with suggestions..

AVI is just a *container*, depending on what you encode the video and audio
with that is *inside* the AVI depends on if WMP can play it back. Install a
DirectShow filter to decode whatever format you encoded the video with.
