You lack the codec for the file.

MPEG is just a file extension it does not say what codec, same with .AVI, its not a codec which many (because lack of knowledge) people think.

I suspect the tutorial you downloaded use what they call 'DivX' nowdays, which is a modified MPEG 4 codec (MPEG4 V2 to be specific) .

Either download the specific codec your missing or download a big pack of the most common codecs around and you wont run into the problem in the future.


Its probably this one, https://www.divx.com/en/win but I am guessing, could be wrong. user added image
