codec for vids?

[hippyd]

i downloaded a bunch vids from this site and they all have vertical lines on the right side and play jerkily with sound out of sync? whats the go?

[quickurn]

what media players have you used and what codecs do you have installed?...the more information you give...the better we can help you out

if you haven't tried everything in this thread http://www.aussiesexposed.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=63 then we would all appreciate it if you would take a good look around this place before posting.....anyway good luck and hope this helps

ok got the mega codec pack and bs player nad the vids play better now but some still have the lines down the side...dunno if thats just a faulty avi or what

[quickurn]

what videos are you having problems with?...is it all of them or just a couple..if so....what are the file names?

p.s. if you didn't already do this...try uninstalling all your codecs and reinstalling the mega codec pack....sometimes can do the trick...

i have the lines on all the jennifer hawkins/great outdoors videos and on a volleyball vid and on kathy loyd price is right vids and kathy loyd footy show vid and on stephanie mcintosh vids....actually almost all of them Never had a prob with vid clips i have downloaded until i found this site...very odd

hmmm... so are you trying to say the videos here caused your problem? I don't think so dude. Try a reformat man, all those videos play fine... Sounds like you have a corrupted file in your system somewheres because nobody else is complaining...
Have you tried looking at the files using GSpot? How much RAM have you got btw?

[hippyd]

not saying that the vids here caused a problem...just saying the vids here are the only ones i have problems viewing. I get vids from other sites and off file sharing programs etc and have no probs whatsoever viewing them. G spot says i have all the codecs to view these vids. I have 256 ram.

the only other thing i can think of is http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ ...try this...if it doesn't work...as Dv8 mentioned, look into re-formatting or something...good luck anyway

btw...what are you using to download these vids?(browser/download manager?)...maybe they are getting corrupted that way....

[hippyd]

downloading via regular windows download...i'll try another method

Maybe you could use MediaPlayer Classic to snap us a vidcap of the problem?

Sometimes codecs can be problematic - you might have the right codec, but another one could be taking priority.

If you use MediaPlayer Classic, you should be able to go up to the "Play" menu and select the "Filters..." option. This will show you what decoder is being used to view the video.

it might be your grapics drivers also dude. You can be suprised how much better the whole system seems with some fresh drivers installed
