I got this movie on my HD but I am having trouble playing it. I just got this new PC from a friend who built it from scratch. I was reading the other thread and downloaded the AVIcodec which says: C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX File : 1.28 GB (1.28 GB), duration: 2:24:20, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 78 %, , Video : 1.05 GB, 1047 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 664*272 (2.44:1), XVID = XVID Mpeg-4, Unsupported Audio : 231 MB, 224 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, VBR, , Supported Anyway when I try to play it all I get supported is sound but not video. What codec would I need for XVID Mpeg 4? Thanks
Sounds like you need the XviD codec. FFDSHOW is a good choice. Combined with a player like MPC should play most video. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ffdshow.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_players/media_player_classic.cfm Or you could get the VLC player - it has it's own internal codecs. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_players/vlc.cfm
OK man thanks a lot the VLC worked! Movie by the way I wanted to watch here is a hint: "Why so serious!"
'DVD Flick' - the short guide that comes with it is straightforward. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_flick.cfm
Hmm the file would not load something with auto protect and it would not load up after download says an error etc. Any other suggestions?
Is this error etc message from DVD flick or Windows or an antivirus program? I assume this PC is running XP, I don't know anything about Vista. You can try the freeware 'VSODivXtoVd' to convert the AVI to DVD format. It's an old program, but still serviceable. The output will be in a separate folder. Burn the folder to disk with 'ImgBurn'. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/vso_divxtodvd_free.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/imgburn.cfm
