Watching movies on WIndows Media Player...

I downloaded a couple movies onto my computer and when I go to watch them in WMP I get sound but it says there was an error obtaining a Codec so the visual is just the random flashing colors from WMP....

First question...anyone know where I might be able to obtain said Codec so I can actually watch it?

Second...is there a better player I can use?

Third...would it be easier to just change the file type...it's a .avi currently...and if so, how do I go about doing that?

gspot will tell you which codec you need.
