Does anyone know why when I play a video on my computer it will only play the sound and not the video? Someone told me it was my "codec" but I dont know what a codec is.

99% sure it needs a codec. Try this

Let us know if it works afterwards.

A codec is a device or program capable of performing encoding and decoding on a digital data stream or signal. The word codec may be a combination of any of the following: 'compressor-decompressor', 'coder-decoder', or 'compression/decompression algorithm'.

You could use DivX, but I see you were helped already

You can also use DivX as Lorrenzo suggested or you can use Vista Codecs. Both work great as far as I know.
