Preview Problems

[sampson]

Sometimes I can preview, sometimes I can't(mpg's that is). How come? Yes I'm letting them dowload a little before previewing.

you may not have the correct codec's installed


how are you trying to preview your MPEG files?

This happens to me also when I try to view some mpegs in K-lite Theater. A lot of mpegs won't preview in AVI preview. I have no idea what to do about it though.

you may not have the correct codecs, or the file you are trying to preview might be corrupted and have an invalid data stream.


if you want the codecs youre gonna need the k-lite codec pack.


you can get it at this link click here (http://doa2.host.sk/codecs/)

I'm attempting to preview through the traffic screen>right-click the mpeg I want to preview>Preview with>Theatre. I have The KLite codec pack 2.4 also. When I say it works or doesn't, I mean that they wont work for the entire night. I'll have to wait till the download is complete to watch the video clip. But on other nights everything will work perfect.

Hello. I am new to this forum and have done a search here to see if I could find what I needed before asking, but with no luck. Is there anything that I can do after spending 3 weeks to download a movie and the file becomes corrupted or so media player says? I actually watched the movie just after downloading it, but when I returned to my computer later, the movie would only play about half way through. Also, I am having kind of the same problem as mentioned here. I have several things that I am downloading, but can only preview a small portion of the movie. The file size changes, but the preview size remains the same. Is there anything that I can do to fix this?


Thanks in advance:)

can gspot render it??

if you don't know what it is then you need the codec pack full version

[outlaw3864]

Thanks for the reply. I am not familiar with that, so I will probably need to download the full version codec pack. Do you know where I can download this?

Thanks in advance :)

stop using media player to watch your video files :P . download VideoLan (http://www.videolan.org/) or XPlayer (http://www.micatoge.com/)......they can do the job when media player fails (assuming you have the proper codecs for the file installed......which you should if youve already watched it once).

Edit: about the previewing problem some of you are having.....if you can view enough of the file to verify that it is really what it says it is, then the preview is working fine. its main purpose is just that, to verify video files. i dont think it was really made to watch videos as they are downloading. just give it some time and let it download for a little while and eventually youll be able to "PREVIEW" more of it. ;) if you cant preview any of a file, wait longer or start looking for a different copy.
