hey guys, ummm im not that gewd with computers, but ummm ive been trying to copy movie files (mostly .avi) onto a thumb drive then copy them from the thumb drive onto other compters.
everytime i do it the movie wont play on the computer.
ive tried using a few different thumb drives and copying them to a few different computers, so i think there is a problem with my laptop...

do you copy it to the other computer or try and play it from the thumbdrive
ummm i tried both, straight off the thumb drive and copying it too the desktop, i even tried another computer and same thing happens...

sorry to hear that ,cant think of anything on the laptop that would cause this ,
Any idea what codec these files use? DivX, XviD? Try installing these codecs on the other machine and then try playing the files.
