Video/Audio Codec Problem

[Sp`ange]

When I play a divx file on my HTPC, it won't play the audio. I can play it on my desktop without any problems. I have all the same codecs installed and I tried a many other options. When I click the info in Winamp to see what the deal is, it shows no audio decoder. wtf? I looked at the file on my HTPC with 'AVI CODEC ANALYSER' and it shows that I have the correct codecs. I used a couple of players and I get the same problem with all of them. The weird thing is that it has problems with no other files. Just these video files encoded by this one group. very strange.

Tivo only plays what it records.

because it will work, unlike your htpc.

run that video through gspot and verify that it is an mp3 codec you need and not ogg or similar. Also is it in a avi format or a ogm or matroska etc.
