Tecno questions

[kite_bitch]

Mom sent me some old soviet movies on home made DVDs and they would not play on my computer. Using Toshiba DVD Player, the program says "some coeds are not available to play this video". What the hell are coeds and where do I get them? They are AVI clips, the movies that is. What can I do??
UPDATE: All works. Thanks, guys!

codec is the word I guess. Put it simply - it's the "language" the video is written in.

You have several options:
1. Buy a new DVD player that understands the language
2. Upgrade firmware in your DVD Player
3. Play movies on computer (http://www.xpcodecpack.com)

Well, actually, codec is not a "language", but rather a tool to understand the "language".

firmware update won't help - the player either has a chip to decode DivX or doesn't.

who cares what codec is :-)) kite-b - just buy a new player that supports DivX! it would be cool if it could support H.264 also (this is the most modern codec that is used to encode HD-video)

Offtop: я этим летом собираюсь из Иллинойса во Флориду в отпуск, не разбираюсь в местности совершенно и поэтому решила посоветоваться с экспертом :)
Я ищу либо surf-station, совмещенный с отелем, пляжем, инструкторами и прокатом :), либо просто отель в неплохом городе рядом с хорошим пляжем. В плане серфинга я новичок, поэтому желательно, чтобы волны были попроще. Как ты думаешь, с чего начать и где искать?
Заранее огромное спасибо! :)
