Any Ideas....

Mhmm.. do you know if you have any codecs? Download and install this : http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia...IVX-Related/ACE-Mega-CoDecS-Pack.shtml : and try again.

Download the DivX and Xvid codecs. Don't download a codec pack.

What do you have against Ace Mega Codecs?

 

[xtknight]

The codec packs install a more than necessary amount of them. It's easier to keep track if you just install the ones you need. FFDShow is one great big codec that plays everything. It is not a codec pack, it just uses one library that supports a vast amount of formats including divx,xvid,H.264,mpeg-2,ANYTHING. And you can easily uninstall just that one program.

I find that ace mega codecs works great.. especially for the wide variety of file formats pr0n comes in.

 

[adwilk]

I've downloaded Divx, xvid, ffdshow, blah blah, still nothin....

 

[adwilk]

do i need directx

 

[Frodolives]

What player are you trying to open the file with? If you've installed those codecs shown and are unable to play it it's entirely possible you'll get different results depending upon the player. I usually start with media player classic.

http://www.kickassanime.org/wiki/index.php?title=Compack is the codec/player pack I use btw, and includes some basic player options.

edit: is there some reason why you wouldn't update directx? Hit your "start" button, then select "run" and type "dxdiag" without the quotation marks and check the result.

Use gpost to find out what codec it is.

Get the K-Lite codec, it has practicaly every codec on the internet

I'd suggest the Gordian Knot codec pack at www.doom9.org

Keep in mind it may simply be a bad file, they're not unheard of.

 

[adwilk]

I was thinking bad file, but i have yet to get an avi to work... weird

 

[adwilk]

This is what GSPOT said
This is an invalid AVI file due to corruption of the data in the header. This is a serious problem, and this file is not likely to playable

Details: While processing chunk /RIFF:AVI , found bad length value 12165026 at file offset 0x00002804

WTF

 

[PseudoKnight]

Ah. So the file is corrupt. There are AVI repair programs, but without the header you're probably out of luck.

Re-download?

 

[apinomus]

The AVI repair programs work fairly well. If you want to leave me a PM I can upload the one I use when I get home from work.

 

[adwilk]

YOu mentioned re download, this is an avi from limewire, would it make a difference if i let it download completely instead of trying to preview it 12 percent into the download???

 

[murphy55d]

umm..yes. it will make a difference.

be patient..your pr0n will download soon enough.

You can try: http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Editing/DivFix110.zip

And when that doesn't work you're stuck with re-downloading. With the speeds of P2P, I feel for you. Hopefully it's not too big.
