Anyone heard of how to fix this? I've got some training videos that when downloaded give an "audio codec error". When googled I see a whole bunch of codec fixes out there, but they seem loaded with "extras". Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks.

I don't know what system or player you are using. It really does not matter as long as it looks and sounds like it should.

Open up the properties and/or options of your player program and make sure that the file type of your video has been selected.

The codec specific for your motherboard will usually be the best to use and an update to your existing player should do the trick if it is a newer file type.

Seems with every Mozilla update, Adobe Flash will crash on my system until another Adobe update follows. I wish that my system did not need that program at all because it always seems to find a conflict with other systems outside Apple.

Grab VLC media player, it's a free download and can play every format I've thrown at it, including some oddball likeogg.

If you are using Windows Media Player, just head over to the microsoft web site and download the latest Codec update.

I recently did it, and everything still appears to be OK.
