Thread: Wtf?

  1. #1
    Every movie that I try to download comes out as a black screen when I attempt to preview it in AVI preview(Yes, they are AVI's that I'm downloading ). There are a few movies that I've downloaded recently that have come out ok but the new movies are always coming out as a black screen except for the 'DivX' symbol in the corner. Why is this? Do I just need to let them finish?

    FYI A couple of the movies I've been have troubles with are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Scary Movie 3, are just two examples.

    Yes I've read the FAQ.

    I looked for the 'Problems and Questions' section that used to be here be I didn't see it. Feel free to move it Mods if it's in the wrong place.

    Yeah move it mods

    We don't know tech shit in the lounge

    Personally I've had probs with that previewer, had it crash the prog or make a defect in the d/l or stop the d/l etc, so I don't use it. What are they like when you finshed the d/l?

    If it's a black screen with the DivX logo, it's a fake file. These bastards have taken do encoding a blank file that's still about 700-1000 MB in an effort to make u download fakes and they've been doing it for a while.

    My advice is that if u preview it and it does this, move on and try another file.

    I second the above advice, also you shouldnt bother using kazaa for new movies, as they are likely to be fakes.

    I prefer newsgroups, you get full bandwidth. alternatively you can use mirc or bittorent.

    bittorent
    Bittorent is approx. $2 per min


    and there's a ton of different choices on Google for for sites titled 'mirc'. Can you give me a link for it.
