Ok here goes hope you guys can help with this.
Ive just completed d/loading The Ring,dvd screener[ViTIE] osloskop cd1 and 2 and there's a lot of breaks in the speech and sound :angry:
It's took me quite a while to get this,is this a 'dodgy' version ive d/loaded?
I have all the codecs and tryed it in ZooM player/PowerDvD and Media Player but same thing in all happens, sounds ok @ 1st then gets a little hard to hear then NO SOUND AT ALL :angry:
Can anyone help?????

Ok - a few suggestions. Try checking out the movie file with GSpot. It will tell you if you have the right AUDIO codecs installed. I think your movie is encoded with Xvid. Whilst this is purely a video codec - there often seems to be sound problems with the resulting file . There is a program called TFM that you can use to boost poor sound on DivX/Xvid movies - I suggest you set it to x 2.5 in the control panel for the program. Good luck in fixing your problem.

Right thanks for the help Crackedup followed your advice and ran G-Spot and it gave some messed up results(i think)
It says that is was unable to find an audio codec that will decompress this format(WAVE_ FORMAT_ AC3)
Yet i have the AC3 codec installed and the sound plays ok sometimes,just not ALL the time,gaps like i said before.
Also it says that 'Directshow WAS able to render sound though'
I have not read any other threads where's ppl have had problems with sound like me.
Any suggestions anyone, im confused :rolleyes:

You say you have all the codecs installed, but which codec packs - I think the best two are the Kazaa L codec pack 1.6 or SLD Pro 1.5 beta 6. People will probably think I work with the SLD guys the number of times I recommend it, but it really is very good. Sorted out tons of problems I've had in the past........Only other thing is you could have a crap, corrupted d/l or just a poor copy.

My codec pack is the DivX bundle but ive installed the AC3 filter separate.
Also is the copy i have not the most common one(Dvd Screener,ViTIE)...

bronco, sometimes fixing these problems is a little bit trial and error - god knows I've had enough headaches over the last few months!. I suggest you try installing a codec pack, which includes a whole lot more than the DivX bundles I think. If it doesn't work you can always remove it or if it causes a conflict. I personally have never d/l a movie where the sound comes and goes and then stops - in most cases it works fine or you get nothing. Perhaps you can use a program like VirtualDub to help with your problem, but this is where you may need the help of the techie whizz kids, as I find it a bit hard going.

Bronco, I have exactly the same problem as you have with "The Ring" xvid screener. Please tell me if you guys can figure out a way to fix it! :(
-
Glad i'm not the only one(in a nice way ;) )
Still trying to solve this but no luck yet
Installed the SLD Pro 1.5 beta 6 codecs but no joy.
Now fumbling my way thru virtual dub...not sure how to use it! trying to check/fix bad frames,heard there's alot with this movie.
-
Hmmmm....I had the same audio codec problem as you did, bronco, but installing the SLD Codec Pack v1.5 (Beta 6) fixed it for me :rolleyes: . My problem was that I would have sound playback as usual, except the video would slow down at points all over the place, givin me one jittery, crappy, film. :(
-
Problems continue :rolleyes:
Did'nt want to post another thread as (i think) this is related to this.
Having just previewed the lotr two tower 3 cd version i have a similar problem with the sound :(
There's just no SPEECH at all but there IS other sound like fx and background sound eg,explosions etc.
Long shot and probably no such thing but could there be a specific codec for speech audio that i could be missing???
