Movie codec for VMWare avi movies

Downloaded few torrents from http://elbitz.net which are in the .avi format. When played with Windows Media Player 11 - it gave the error 'Required Codec Missing' - but did not figured out what exactly missing. You can use GSpot to identify which video codec and audio compression method is used on .avi files and whether the matching codec is installed. With this it figured out VMnc is missing and had to installl VMware Workstation 5.0 Movie Decoder. With this it worked fine with both the Windows Media Player and the RealPlayer.

    My friend and I were recently discussing about how involved with technology our daily lives have become. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


    I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about every once in a while.
