ARGH!!!! avi doesn't play!?

WAPOWA{@_RQ#$_R #$_ TR_@WT$A!!!!!!!

I just spent half my life downloading JC on CNN, and the thing won't play! I get audio, but no video. Why can't there be ONE standard player for all this stuff? Quicktime, RealPlayer, MediaPlayer...it's ridiculous! And you have to keep up with the stuff because whatever you want to download next is *guaranteed* to be incompatible with whatever the hell you already have to play it on.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Software, man.

What am I doing wrong? I'm crying. ::sob:: It's been a long day, I'm still crampy, and I'm cranky. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I just wanna see JC. ::sobs again::

I think there's a codec to be downloaded, or something. Going to go look now. Bleh.

Yes! Codecs! How many are there, do they make one up for every single clip ever created? That's insane. Everytime I download something it seems like I need yet another codec for it.

Can you tell that I'm just a little aggravated? ;-)

I went back in the sweeteyedelights archives and she posted about it a few days back. Something about not being able to make .wmv's. I just listened without picture and that was good enough for me. *g*

Technology is great, but at the same time... argh!

I took it too. I used to have it, but I got rid of it.
