| 264362 | 2004-08-22 22:51:00 | I have aquired Alien vs Predator )about 2hrs long) as an AVI file, however when playing it in Windows Media Player, wmp thinks it is a song, and tries to play it at 48kbps (thinks it's 15hrs long) and of course just plays silence. I also have reason to beleive it is DivX encoded, but I have DivX 5.2 and the DivX player can't play it (correct size, time and quality but no sound or video). What can I do? It was a 535MB download. |

| 264363 | 2004-08-22 22:58:00 | What version of Windows are you using?? I think XP SP2 had probs with DIVX 5.2 I think it was... Try updating DIVX. | Spacemannz (808) | ||
| 264364 | 2004-08-22 23:00:00 | check out gspot it should tell you what codec is used. has anyone played this file before? it could be a bogus movie. |

| 264366 | 2004-08-22 23:19:00 | Gspot is a little program. It might be an idea to grab k-lite mega-codec pack,it comes with gspot and all the codecs a person could ever need,although it pays to err on the side of caution and only install the minimal/required codecs. I would imagine your file is incoded in Xvid. [Edited by: admin on Aug 23, 2004 1:25 PM] |

| 264367 | 2004-08-22 23:24:00 | Yes, it was DivX, I had the right codecs, but it was a dud. It was a 535MB file, but there were 517MB of 'junk' at the end of it. | george12 (7) | ||

| 264369 | 2004-08-22 23:33:00 | for those you can't search...gspot home (www.headbands.com) :-) i don't recommend codec packs. its very hard to find one that hasn't got dodgy filters/codecs in them. simply install the ones you need. |
