Hi there,

If you only have sound and no video, you are missing some codecs on your PC.

Quote:
(COmpressor/DECompressor) Software or hardware that compresses and decompresses audio and video data streams. The purpose of a this type of codec is to reduce the size of digital audio samples and video frames in order to speed up transmission and save storage space. The goal of all codec designers is to maintain audio and video quality while compressing the binary data further. Lossy methods are widely used, which actually discard bits that most people cannot hear or see.
Download the K-Lite Codec pack from here: http://www.codecguide.com/

DivX and Xvid files are compressed video files (*.avi).
You will need those codec to view them, as mentioned above !
