    Can't view CD video on my new computer...
    « on: January 15, 2013, 04:40:28 PM »
    I burned a video my daughter made on a CD about 4 years ago on my old computer, I use to watch it a lot. I got a new computer last year and just found the CD, I go to watch it and I can't see the video, I can hear it but can't see it. When I put the CD in it opens,  the video reads  "Type of file-VLC media file (.avi ). When I click on the video it starts playing on my "windows media player". Do I have to download a different video program so I can see it. Not sure why I can see it on my new compter, any ideas?
