I guess no one but I have had problems playing this movie? I've tried several times over the past few weeks to run the thing, but it always fails, and then I let it sit because everything else in the whole world seems more important than a movie that doesn't run.

I'm evidently missing a sound codec, but I don't know what it's looking for.

Obviously, because of my work with AnimWatch, I watch a lot of different movies and never have this problem... Anyone know what codec this thing is attempting to use?

That's odd. I downloaded three different versions and had no problem with any of them. I did have an a couple issues with a server being down, but just tried a different one and all was good.

I have no real idea but the codec pack i use and have installed on my computer is http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/

The k-lite installs a couple of different codecs for both sound and video and also contains the "classic media player" wich was the main reason I got it in the first place since Im no fan of the newer xp mediaplayer in windows.

I also have DivX 6.0 installed. I know that there is not a good idea to mix different packs but everything works fine over here so I cant complain :)
