Well the problem is when I choose to watch them on Divx Player it only shows a black screen and on the bottom it shows the duration, also it says it’s playing but it’s really not(circle on streaming line won’t move). I checked the codec, and installed FFDShow but still won’t work. Can someone help?”

    Thanks alot : ) for your post. I’d like to comment that the expense of car insurance varies greatly from one coverage to another, given that there are so many different facets which play a role in the overall cost. Such as, the make and model of the car or truck will have a significant bearing on the price. A reliable old family automobile will have a more affordable premium when compared to a flashy sports vehicle.
