12/05/04 ep of Top Gear - No Audio

linenoyz · December 7th, 2004, 03:05 AM

I have the latest version of XviD installed. I get video, but no audio at all. images/smilies/sad.gif

Anyone else having this issue?

andyhui01 · December 7th, 2004, 04:07 AM

I don't have the episode yet but I heard that there is a segment with no audio... maybe about 2 seconds

Cruzz563 · December 7th, 2004, 04:46 AM

Hmm, GSpot says the audio is MP3, I'm sure you have that installed tho...

Raider · December 7th, 2004, 04:47 AM

install ffdshow and the new ac3 codec.

linenoyz · December 7th, 2004, 01:05 PM

Still no luck. G-Spot says I have an audio codec installed, but even when rendering, it comes up with an error.

I am also getting an error. It says Tag85 error.

banpreso · December 7th, 2004, 05:49 PM

i don't have audio as well, for the entire vido. have all the codec i think. i'm downloading it again

ESPNSTI · December 7th, 2004, 06:05 PM

Weird, there is nothing special about the audio, and it works fine for me (on every machine I've tried):

Audio : 47 MB, 112 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, Supported

On the machine that I'm currently trying it on (with WMP 6.4), it says the following filters are being used when I play it back (File->Properties->Advanced) :

Default DirectSound Device
MPEG Layer-3 Decoder (Version 1.5 build 50 : http://www.iis.fhg.de/audio )
Video Renderer
XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder

I know many people here use VLCPlayer if they have problems playing something ( http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ ).

Overheat · December 7th, 2004, 09:05 PM

I've had this problem quite a bit with the latest xVid videos. Try playing them through Media Player Classic. Fixed the problem for me. images/smilies/smile.gif

duffy325 · December 7th, 2004, 09:33 PM

ffdshow fixed it for me. I downloaded all the mp3 codecs, including the one specific for tag85, and they didnt work.

linenoyz · December 7th, 2004, 09:48 PM

Weird...it plays in Media Player Classic, but not in WMP 10.

Oh well...it's working. Bizarre.

banpreso · December 8th, 2004, 12:23 AM

i just downloaded ffdshow, it works now

downshiftlude · December 8th, 2004, 08:28 PM

i downloaded ffdshow and it still doesn't work for me...i can get sound but i have to max out my speakers to do so and it still sucks images/smilies/cry.gif

Overheat · December 8th, 2004, 10:39 PM

MixtriX · December 9th, 2004, 02:50 AM

Quicksilver · December 9th, 2004, 03:28 AM

Have you tried this program? It's free.

This seems to work well for me.

SiR_dude · December 9th, 2004, 03:37 AM

^ Welcome aboard!! Several people here (excluding me) find that VLC player is one of the best.

Buba · December 9th, 2004, 09:30 AM

And it definetly plays just about everything you feed it with... Doesn't need codec, it has linux - based codec library with it...
And if something really won't play at all, put it in virtual dub... If it can read it, you can just reencode to another codec...

BrianK · December 9th, 2004, 11:23 PM

For those of you who have downloaded ffdshow & still aren't working, make sure you get the latest (alpha) release - it was made 10/04. The last stable release (from 2002) does not do what you need.

Buba · December 9th, 2004, 11:28 PM

I didn't have any problems with the video... I thought, I was picky when coming to async playback... It is noticable but not that bad...
