Help With Movies

[highguy]

ok, first hello all, this is my first post on this board, anyway i just downloaded some new movies (divx)avi, and tried to view in avi viewer and in winamp, but when i hit play a black screen shows up with a divx logo in the bottom right corner. the logo fades and no vidoe ever comes on. does this mean the movie is not good or do i just not have the correct codecs and stuff to view them??


thanks

I had a problem with no picture useing another player and i downloaded this . ffdshow .
inside this has loads of codecs etc ... try it .. it wont hurt anyway . otherwise i surgest trying another player?


any regular users feel free to correct me

could be fake, try it in videolan http://www.videolan.org
if it doesn't play in that it's most likely a fake

thanks for the reply, that ffdshow didnt work, but i am currently downloading vlc and i will let you know if it works muchspl2!!
thanks

ok opened the zip file, clicked on vlc.exe and nothing happened, i pressed ctrl alt del and it said the prog was running but i cannot see it? i am running win98 se, can you tell me how to install it??

[highguy]

ok installed and running videolan!!!! works fine with all other vids until i try to resize screen then it performs illegal operation!! when i try to play those avi files it plays a blank screen so i guess it is a bad file then? i guess i'll look in the verified before grabbing anything else.
thanks for the help!!!

um , have you got at least directx 9 running on your computer with win 98

win 98 needs at least direct x 8 i believe to play avi's and stuff correctly

i know bsplayer wont even run without directx 8

[highguy]

im not running directx8 its lower, iknow it is, but im not having a problen viewing all avi files i can view some divx and others are just a black screen with the divx logo I have gotten alot of codecs but nothing seems to work.
another question, i use nero burning 5.5 to burn vcds from avi files, can i burn divx and xvids also, i guess the question is if i can view it on the computer will i be able to burn it through that prog??

thanks again!

check my sig on how-2 svcd/vcd and kvcd
kvcd is dA-shiznit but I have provided guides for both
good luck

[highguy]

cool thx, i have a kvcd of dave chappelle killing them softly, came out dvd quality!!
i need that prog to convert but i hate how long it takes tmpge to convert the way i do it is just load the avi files into nero and it converts them it still takes along time but i put it to burn and automaticcly shut down after completion so i can leave it will that work with divx and others?
