Hi and Welcome to Fixya

Video Codecs are needed if in any case some videos wont recognized by your computer due to different file format. You can download free codecs over the internet and they are absolutely free. Here is the link for one of the codecs available over the internet.

Have a good one!

Whenever...It would be better for you to update the GOM player or you can try another free media player. Here are some free players for your reference.
1. Leawo Blu-ray Player
Region free Blu-ray player, free DVD player, free 4K video player, free 4K Blu-ray player, free audio player and free ISO player.
2. Kodi
In addition to physical media such as Blu-rays and DVDs, Kodi supports all of the common file formats in use today, both for music (MP3, FLAC, WAV, etc.) and video (MP4, MKV, AVI, etc.).

3. KMPlayer
KMPlayer would be able to play that file, quite smoothly & there are impressive features too. Some of those features of KMPlayer include its support for 3D, 2K, 4K & UHD, presence of internal codec file

When i try to play a video on gom player it say that i dont have necessary codec to play video

Hi,
You can download/ install Media Player Classic
Download the latest version of Media Player Classic (K-Lite Codec) FOR FREE
It is a small but a very fine Media Player which also installs all the required CODEC and you can play all audio - video files.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

Every time i open the GOM player it would ask for "FIND codec"

GOM Player includes many codecs (XviD, DivX, FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, H263) Along with different media format such as AVI, MPG, MPEG and DAT, GOM Player also supports streaming Windows media format (WMV, ASF, ASX).

Possible Reason:

* Ensure that you have downloaded a genuine version and not a broken file, which is likely to miss some codecs, GOM is a FREE media player with popular audio & video codecs built-in. So you won't need to install separate codecs for most videos. For those videos that require a separate codec, GOM Player will find one.

* Without the appropriate codec, you'll be prohibited from playing AV files/the codec for which the file you are playing is missing (playback error), which prompts you to "Find Codec" screen. In the case you need other codecs, the 'Find Codec' popup will assist you in searching for the correct codec to play your file. If you didn't find any: first reason is likely to be the issue.

Fixes:

*Search Result will be shown on a new internet page. Once youve found it, simply download and install to watch the AV files.

Cannot play video from you tube

Hi, Supported formats include DAT, MPEG, DivX, XviD, WMV, ASF, AVI, and MOV, as are common codecs like FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, and H263. A pop-out playlist can save and organize your various media files, though the limited sort modes--two--hardly makes it a champ.
so u just uninstall you Gom player then reinstall http://download.cnet.com/GOM-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10551786.html
Here is what you need!!! Click on the Above Link. Download Software!!!
