Here is the situation,
A friend of mine was recently deployed and he brought his new laptop with him.
He asked me to send him some movies and tv shows etc
He is using windows vista and is NOT computer literate at all, he just knows the basics
like the power button.
The stuff I will be sending him is mostly in divx format or some variation, xvid with some AC3 audio etc
Do I need to send him a codec so he can watch them or what?
I know of the all in codec here
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Cod … l_In_1.htm
will that be enough or does he even need the codec since he is on vista?
( i dont have vista ) but I heard that vista installs stuff on its own.
Any info posted will be greatly appreciated.
