28 Days Later

[hawk]

i downloaded what sounds to be a "28 days later" cam, but i only get the sound and a grey screen i checked the codecs with gspot and it says i have it, says "mpeg4-3" anyone know why i might only be getting a gray screen?

I had the same problem with some films e.g. "Sylvia Saint in Leather " :w00t: but got them to play.

I don't know much about codecs, but here's the cause of the problem.


Format: S-Mpeg 4 version 3,  4CC: MP43

GSpot has found WMVideo Decoder DMO, which is installed on your system, is a compatatible with this format; based on that, the video for this file should play fine.

DirectShow is apparantly able to play the file as well , although it has selected a different codec, the Microsoft MPEG4-Video decompressor, whose primary 4cc (MPG4) does not match the file's 4cc (MP43). This is because the codec claims to be able to decompress 8 other formats besides MPG4, and this format is number 5 on that list.

This is not usually a problem, but under certain circumstances there may be a performance (quality ) issue.

To make them work,
I selected 3ivxConfig.exe from k-lite Codec pack ( k-lite Codec Pack / Config / 3ivx ).
Then selected DirectShow Priority tab.
Then enabled compatiable decoders for the following MPEG-4 variants. (DivX3, DivX4, DivX5, Xvid )

if u have the new klite use the old klite codecs for some reason the new codec won't let me play most of my movies i have had downloaded and had for awhile.i installed the old codec pack and it works great B)
