The videos i transfer to my computer is a divx file?

[LovelyA]

I have a nikon 14.0 megapixel camera. and I transferred my videos i made to my computer. and some worked out perfectly but some of them turned out to only play and can be watched on divx? how do i fix this so that i can edit them to windows movie makers? and post them? etc

You need a codec. A codec is a "software driver" or such that encodes and decodes a video or audio file for playback, transmission, streaming, or even editing. Without a codec, your computer will not know how to play the files.

You can either download the DivX codec from http://www.divx.com

or you can download a pack of codecs called the K-Lite Codec pack (short for Kazaa Lite Codec pack.) http://www.klitedownload.com

The latter of the two options allows you to play any file you will ever come across within windows media player, or other software, should you so wish.
