Hi all

Have just dl'ed La Haine. Supposed to be a good movie, trouble is it freezes regularly after an hour or so, until the picture seizes up completely towards the very end (sound continues). I have Nimo + KLite codec packs installed, and have also tried different players, WMP 8.x, 9, 6.4, DivxPlaya, BSplayer. No luck :(.

If anyone has had similar problems, and found a way to solve them, please let me know.

Cheers

Herm

La Heine
fuck me i forgot about that film.. quite good
is it the black aqnd white franch film, english subtitles about the lifes of sum kids who live out in the paris gheto's
i had to watch that as part of my english lit course.

wen ever i can not get a film to play.. load it into gspot codec and it will tell you which audio/video codecs you will need, then simply get a codec pack with the required info in it.
seems to work for me

Gaz, you're indeed talking about the same movie. It's quite widely available, just make sure you spell the title correctly :)

Anyway, tx for the GSpot tip, I didn't know that program and in general it looks useful. Unfortunately, having just downloaded it, and loaded La Haine into it, it tells me I've got 6 compatible video codecs and 4 audio ones. Should be enough. The render function also says it should be OK. But then I try WMP, and again it f***s up...

PS Apologies for triple posting, I got error messages twice so I tried again. Turns out the error msgs themselves were erroneous. Or something :rolleyes:.
