| Post subject: | Codec's |
seing as my uni network is a untapped source of awesome moives, it's really pissing me off that most of them i can't watch because i apparently don't have the right codecs and they always seem to fail to download in Windows Media player any idea where i can manually download some random codecs, that might possibly run some of these movies in Media Player, cause at the moment, i have no idea what i'm actually looking for... |

Most of the movies I have seen that are not windows standard are divx. |

yeah i've got divx though, and quicktime and realplayer. still some movies though, like minority report which i wanted to watch but don't have the right codex and i would use kazaa but on our uni network it's massively bandwidth limited so you barely get a file transfer rate so i gave up on that ages ago... anyone one know of a website or something which i can get them from? |

I use this codec: http://www.megacodecpack.com/ I still have to get across a movie file that doesn't play in WMP with that codec pack. |

Yup, that's the same, only with Real and Quicktime alternative in it. What I don't understand is why they don't just make a Realplayer and Quicktime codec for WMP, instead of Media Player Classic. |

I have a small problem, when i try to watch trailers at www.gametrailers.com, the movies become all scrambled and stuff, you know like old tvs show static (new ones just turn the screen blue) and about a minute from that my rig freezes totally. I think its got something to do with the codecs but im not sure. Any ideas. The same stuff happens with vids on my HDD so its not a net related incident. |

yea, sounds like a codec issue. do you have a codec pack of some sort? If you do, uninstall it and download a new one from the net. I use the k-lite mega codec pack typically... google will find it for you. If that fails, it could be a video driver problem... just reinstall your graphics drivers in that case. If you can still game ok, that won't be it, though. |

Now it takes only longer for the problem to appear. I can game just fine, i played Bioshock for 10h in row the other day. Its just videos. And it doesnt matter if its Media player classic or WMP, both crash the same. |

Have you tried VLC? It can play most formats and is available in a portable version for your USB stick. |
