No Video

[ladypainter]

Once you spend hours (days) downloading a movie, and then there is only audio, is there a way to "make" the video come in? I checked out the properties of the file and it says it is a video clip. I hear the soundtrack...no picture.

Do I just delete it and try again? Or...is there a way to save it?

Thanks in advance!

[Munchables]

He he look evey one point and laugh at the stupid newbie!

O ok i hade my fun now (or have i) I will help you out. If you ever download a movie and it has no video or the video is all fucked up or maybe the sound is fucked up. Then you don't have the right codec (your littel newbie brain is probly about to explode)

1 hour later you think umm how do I get this codic you speek of. Well simpe littel man you go on to kazaa (if you say I use shareaza or somthing like that I will slap you if I could) Get somthing called Nimo Codec Pack 5.0 build 8 (I htink build 8 is thenewist regardless any veriosn you get you will be set) well if you are too lazy to go onto kazaa (or too stupid) go here

This queation has been answered many times but here we go again. you will need to download the DivX Codac to view the video. you can go to DivX.com (http://www.divx.com/) and get the codac. if it still doesent work, i am sure someone will post the link to the Nemo codac for you to get. i forget where it is. you can also try another video player, as i would not use the "playa" thing that comes with the codac.


Try that and let us know.


Now Munchables be nice, not everyone can find the search button in the forums.:mellow

**mucnhables points and laughs at foreverbroard for even thinking such slander**

Well nemo codic pack has the divx codec as well as a whole lot more! and don't use the playa or the divx player they suck realy bad with the nemo codic pack you can use win meda palyer (micro$ft sux but thre player so happens to be the best)

foreverboard you are right I shuld be nicer. but certan questions just piss me off manly beucse thay are anserd like 20,000 times a day and ppl still don't get it. but he is lucky, I could have said somthing like " oo your problem is you don't have a trasqulifying trixulator with dule multi-plexing transmubulation capabilites. You need to reformat your hard drive that should fix the problem"

but you have to think...quote from MIB "a person is smart, people are dumb, stupid, and panicy." so no matter how long you will be here for this queation will be asked time and time again, so i would get use to it. all you can do it point them in the right direction.

[wonderboy2005]

munchables.... no offense meant, but i dont think its your place to be calling anyone a noob.... you've been here at most 1/2 a month. i still consider myself a noob and im going on my 4th month here.

[p00n1s]

For a player, I recommend VideoLAN Cleint, or VLC. Although originally for streaming, it can play many kinds of files. With Nimo (commonly misspelled as "Nemo") codec pack, it can play almost anything.

[Munchables]

If it works with nimo codic pack and it is not micro$oft the go for it!

Yeah I am a "noob" to zp (whatever the fuck that is) but I see ppl asking that same fucking question over and over agin and no matter how many times you anser it they keep asking it.

fuck you all I gave the best anser to his prob.

[Foreverboard]

fuck you all I gave the best anser to his prob. [/B]


noone is tring to out do you here man. you gave the link to the nimo codac just like I said someone would, and I thank you and i am sure the new person does to, but you need to chill. And people are going to keep asking this queation,maybe you should just not answer them instead of talking down to someone who dosent know the answer and just wants to watch a movie.



The queation has been answerd and this thread is done.

Dude, serioulsy chill out. First of all, calling people names and making fun of them will get you no way here. Believe me, you will get your ass flamed serioulsy. It's ok to tell the "newbie" the answer and then explain to them how to use the search function on the boards. And of all people being "newbies". How long have you been here?

Peace

[ladypainter]

OK, f*uckwad...I tried the "search". It was faster to post the question than to read over post after post. You answered...who's more stupid.....you or me? I just finished a nice dinner with my family while you posted, instead of them going ahead without me MY dinner getting cold...kids asking "why can't we see the movie" while I search old postings.

My many thanks to all those posting on behalf of the "newbie". We all were newbies at one time or another...weren't we? I have many forums of my own, of which I answer the same questions time after time. I even had to teach one lady how to copy & paste! We were not all born with automatic knowledge.

I hope you are satisfied tonight as you stand before the mirror, popping your pimples and then going to bed jerking off. Don't worry...you will grow up one day.......and then again...as I re-read my post.....maybe you won't!

LOL

PS: I truly hope I have not offended the serious responders to my first post...I REALLY DO appreciate your responses.

[ladypainter]

If you are tired of the same questions, maybe you should find a different message board....the internet is sort of large....

duhhhhhhhh

[wonderboy2005]

dude im sorry if i offended you, but i did not try to. like i said, no offense meant. i just didnt think that someone who has been here at most 17 days has the right to label another person as a 'newbie'. there arent too many peeps that have been here a long ass time that will perposely call another a newbie. ZP is supposed to be a friendly place, and if it werent, then most likely, some of our best members would not be here. as for the the codec problem, well asking a question is human nature. i guarantee no one here has ALWAYS searched for an answer themselves before asking. we (humans) are lazy. we want the simplest way to reaching our goal.

[The Hunter]

:wings Ladypainter, all I can say is well done. One of the best posts here in a long time.

Totally agree with ya wonderboy2005.

ladypainter : When we say newbie, we refer to it in the sense of the amount of time spent at ZeroPaid and the contributions he/she has made to our community, not knowlege of anything computer related.

Thank you, however, I must say that I feel that I just reduced myself to the age of 10! BUT....as I do another shot of Captian Morgans, I find it rather fun and fulfilling. hehehe

Sweet dreams to all & thanks again for your help. I am currently downloading the necessary software.

Ok, When I mentioned the contribution thing. I was referring to Munchables and his rant on newbies even though he has been here only 15 days or so. We don't expect you to contribute a large amount when you just got here. That is exactly why your tagged with the newbie status under your name..

So your a lady......I can't wait until Krell gets back here, lol.

Welcome to ZeroPaid!

P.S. - Please don't make fun of the name....

My FULL apologies! Sometimes, with the boards, it is hard to tell who is speaking to whom...LOL <although I doubt this is something I need to remind you of> I promise to not make fun of the name again...(PMS tends to put one on the defensive:) "It's a hormonal thing...you wouldn't understand">>> Wouldn't that make a teriffic bumper sticker?!

I will have to admit that this little "problem" has sparked an interest in this particular board. LOL

Untill tomorrow...parting is such sweet sorrow...blah blah...

YO, MUNCHABLES!! NO FUCKEN OFFENSE MAN BUT CHILL THE FUCK OUT!!! Now, how do you like that? Stop calling people noobs because they ask something that was asked here already, instead of acting gay, why dont you give them a link to the thread that is similar to this one... Ever thought about that? Dont "FUCK" anybody cuz cursing won't do squat.... Just help the person out.. that is all they are asking you to do.. I know you probably meant it all as a joke but come on.. Point being made.. Dont act all god-like here. Have a nice day everybody, btw, did you try the nimo codec pack yet?

[Psilaxs]

GOD, I just love it when teenage children try to show power over one another (and even over adults) because they have some knowledge that the other doesn't.

Maturity in not when you get upset answering the same question over and over again, it is maturity when you have the patience to answer the same questions over and over and over without being a dickhead.

[phalkon30]

You installed the divx codec from www.divx.com? for now, I'll assume you did (btw, this is almost deffinately a codec problem, although you should keep in mind that some movies are corrupt out there, you could have gotten a bad one)

There are many different codecs that could be needed, divx is just the most popular, try getting the Nimo Codec pack build 8 from http://www.btinternet.com/~nimosiro/ (its the one everybody above has been talking about)

after you download it, make sure to read the main page, there are certain ways to set it up, if you do it wrong, you can cause some problems

if you are only intrested in VIEWING and not RIPPING DivX movies, the I would suggest the Nimo Lite Pack available at http://www.btinternet.com/~nimosiro/ , just click on the link at the top, and again, read the page before fully installing

chances are, if you install either of these packs, the movie should play, but there is still a slim chance that you have a corrupted movie, could you possibly tell us the full file name of the movie?

I would recommend using Windows Media Player for viewing movies, it doesnt stop on every minor error like the Divx Alpha player does, if you dont like WMP because it takes too much resources, then I would suggest the BSPlayer, found at http://www.bsplayer.org/ , it plays just about any type of file you could want

Sorry you got some bad responses earlier, hopefully you do not think this is the way the entire site acts....we just have a few people that sometimes go off about nothing, try to ignore them (and btw, in no way am I saying I'm an angel either)

[wonderboy2005]

according to munchables profile, he was born in 1980. since im the only teen in this thread (that i know of) i hope that wasnt directed at me... it sounded like it was meant for munchables, but if it was me, then what'd i do?

[The Hunter]

Age has no bearing on this, it was not aimed at you. All you did was try to help.

then I guess you dont know of me *mwahahahaha* I'm only 16 :)

wonderboy, honestly, just try to ignore that kind of crap, the more I post here, the more I find its best to leave it alone, even if it offends you, let somebody else waste their time debating it

on a completely random note about debating......try saying "math debate" with crackers in your mouth, it sounds pretty damn funny.......especially when you say "I math debate a lot!" (sorry for the tangent, just trying to lighten the mood)

[CrAzYMaNiAk54]

So was it aimed at me? lol
Anyway, I hope I helped with.. Im pretty sure you have to try to download the nimo codec pack like I said before
Nice avatar Hunter. =D

I shouldnt have to explain this, (and it makes me want to go off on a tangent lol ) but it was aimed at Munchables.

Age and mentality are two seperate things i understand.

ladypainter,

First go download this AVI Tag Editor utility, so that we could find out what codec was used to encode that movie. Then go download ffdshow for latest DirectShow filter.

abcAVI Tag Editor: http://kibus1.narod.ru/frames_eng.htm?sof/abcavi/index.htm

ffdshow: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow

Second, let us know more about your computer system, is it Pentimum III with over 1Ghz CPU processor, how much RAM do you have, what operating system are you using, etc.

If there is any more problem, we can go from there! The more info we have, the better we can locate the problem. Good Luck! :-)

[grab_grab_the_haddock]

well ive got the nimo codec pack installed, and occasionaly still get the sound but no picture problem. Now this undoubtedly is a codec issue, but i cant always be arsed pricking about looking for codecs , and as its been said - if the only tool you have is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail.

another way of gettin round this - and it works for me, is just to convert the avi to an mpg.
for this i use winMPG video convert (http://www.winmpg.com/) it is shareware, although there are cracks ;-)
mpg also has the benefit of having a considerably smaller filesize than avi.

by the way, i too was impressed with the way ladypainter dealt with the illiterate moron - seems she has something of the natural flamer about her. Theres been a lack of genuine wit round here lately, and i for one hope we havent seen her last contribution to these forums.

By the way must you call people "gay" when you don't like or do not respect them?

I guess Jared's "Gay MoonMan" avatar got to you.....lol

But yes, calm down if something isn't to you're liking don't call it "gay" either you sound gay (when you say it) or you sound like a gay bashing fuck-tard. Try "You're outlook on this situation disagrees with my morality" or something of that nature......don't forget to add the standard "=D".

As for munchables....I LMFAO every time I see you call someone "moron" "idiot" "stupid" "retarded" "newbie" and anything else that projects the notion that you're challenging someones IQ. Since you speak/write/act like a moron all the time. So please for the love of god stop acting like you're "leet" "smart" "a techie wonder" YOU'RE NOT! Until you prove yourself, you're just another annoying kid who enjoys every bit of the "look I'm right you're wrong....STUPID YOU!" scenario on message boards. Give it a rest...and for fucking god sakes SPELL CHECK.....I know AOL has a spell checker...so use it....hell we all know AOL would have one....they serve the morons of this world.

For the thread starters problem.....(btw welcome to ZP...enjoy your stay)

1) Download Vdub - http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdub/VirtualDub-1_4_13.zip

2) Extract the zip file...run vdub.exe

3) Open the video in question (with VirtualDub) and tell us/take a screen capture of the error message it gives you.

4) If it gives no error message then (A) Go to the file menu and click "File Information" and tell us what that says. (B) Go to the video menu and click "Direct Stream Copy" then go to the file menu and click "Save as Avi"
save a copy of the movie in question and try to play that.

Post you're results.....

[ladypainter]

I ended up crashing last night, so I finally found my way back on the puter here at work. I will have to say THANKS to everyone! I didn't expect to get so much help, and so quickly. I also enjoyed reading the post...sure brightened up another boring work day...LOL I'm pretty sure I will be hanging around from time to time...<still grinning>

Ok...I am quite new at all this, but I will take your advice. I can't get back to it until later this evening though.

I can say that it should be a great file. I got the DAT file from Fastrack Movies. It was rated with 5 stars. (BTW, the movie is "Signs" and I have heard it isn't that great anyway, but I'm just REALLY PISSED that it won't play after all the time it took to get it)

I will post this evening with any info I can gather. I hope everyone has a great day.....

This has to be one of the most convuluted threads I have ever seen. It should be preserved as an example of why NOT to be a forum. I am truely disappointed with the whole thing.

Sorry that I has to be opening line today . . . but those of you who have been here, our more senior members, know exactly what I mean.

ladypainter, I'm sorry you got off to a less than welcome start here. Also, your woes are not over. Now unless your dear family is accostomed to hearing you swear like a sailor, give them money and send them to the mall.

The codec that you need, that has been the issue the WHOLE time, is called XVID. And Im going to tell you now, its a little bitch.

Nimo will not help you. Not by itself. Nics build of the codec thats included has never worked, not even on one single xvid movie for me. Those blurry swirly images you see in SIGNS, or a blank picture, may never get better, unless you tell that movie to be a "divx" in the movie headers. To do that, you may use the avi4cc editor, "avic".
THIS is the dl link:
http://inmatrix.hoyty.com/mirror/avic100.zip

Website http://www.inmatrix.com/

Save it to your usual storage space, let's clean up your machine, and do it well. Once youve done your scan discs, defrag, and empty trash, etc, then let's look at what codecs you have installed, BECAUSE, if you do not have the right divx codecs installed, you can't tell SIGNS what to be played with.

In addition, I want everyone to bookmark this page,
http://avicodec.duby.info/
and download the AVIcodec info tool. You too ladypainter. Dont get ahead of yourself, your competent, but this is going to be a trial and error thing.

The rest of the nonsense, I will address later, until then,

I was n e v e r here.

I agree last place i expect a flame war to erupt..

You were here.. Deleteing your posts didnt accomplish anything in fact due to the confusion that whole mess caused it made my job only harder for a while.

Anyways i cant "dissapear" and i have to start my crackdown on flamers to put an end to their little fun..
