Hello... now you've missed one big info - HOW did you transfer the video in your computer. (because different transfers create different files)





So - since I do not know what file is your video in (avi? mpeg1? mpeg2?) here is general answer - situation you described (audio OK, but animation instead video) happens when your PLAYER (=not the software you used to transfer video) does not have proper video codec.


Like if the video is in DV format, your windows media player needs to have DV codec. OR is it DivX? If your transfering software recorded in DivX 6 and your WMP has only DivX 5, it will play exactly what you described.


So look for video codec in the format you need.


And I would start with KLM codec Vista package - it has probably all of them:-)


Here it is:
