We can't control what user has what codec etc. There are a wide variety of codecs that are available everywhere. The problem you are having is most likely the result of old, bad, incompatible or incorrect codec(s) on your system. I've also made VLC an external program button in the toolbar, so I can also launch it with a mouse click.
In Windows, I have associated most video filetypes (avi, mp4, mpg, etc.) to VLC, and in ThumbsPlus, I simply press Shift-Enter to launch a video in VLC (pressing Enter would open it in TP's own player, but Shift-Enter will open it in the program that is associated to it in Windows).

It has all the major codecs built-in, so it doesn't depend on Windows and third-party codecs. Personally, I've stopped messing with codecs and I use the VLC Mediaplayer almost exclusively. (*: I think those tools are named VFW Configuration and Video Decoder configuration, but that information may be outdated.)

Encoding methods are identified by a four-character code named FOURCC (for more info see ). If so, you could first use a utility like G-Spot ( ) to find out how this video had been encoded, and then use the configuration tools from FFDSHOW* to configure which codec will decode that type of video. If you have installed K-Lite, I think your system uses FFDSHOW to configure how codecs are used (a shortcut to FFDSHOW may be in your Windows start menu). In this case, it looks like the video stream has been assigned to the wrong codec, or to a non-functional codec, and as a result you don't get proper video. These codecs decode the video and audio streams and send the output to a player (like Mediaplayer or ThumbsPlus' player), which plays them to the screen and to the soundcard.
The Directshow system splits a video into a video stream and an audio stream, and it assigns a decoder (also called codec) to each stream. ThumbsPlus uses Windows' 'Directshow' system to play videos. This type of problem can be quite complicated.
