Can't play .AVI

Daniel · February 16th, 2005, 11:28 PM

Ok, here it goes. I have downloaded Lost for 3 days. I was gonna chill today, and then watch it.

It seemed to work fine, but every 3 minute or so, it keeps lagging, at the exact same points. And then it jumps 30seconds, and everything turns into a liquid kinda thing. A known XVID problem.

Now, Ive tryed to download the KL-Codec pack and stuff, and played it in WMP, WMP Classic, DiVX player and everything.

Can anyone help me out? I smashed my desk and I have been killing my keyboard today. Im so pissed off. images/smilies/mad.gif

Try this player http://www.videolan.org/
It uses it's own set of codecs, plays just about anything

swek · February 17th, 2005, 12:20 AM

Sounds more like a corrupted inderx and/or missing frames. I don't know if you can fix that.

No it's not. I know of others who has the same rip and it works.

That VLC player doesnt work either. Bloody sucks. Im so pissed off now that it is hard to think of anything that doesent involve pain. images/smilies/cry.gif

I use Windows Media Player Classic. It plays everything (quicktime, realplayer, etc.) - It might help maybe?

@Daniel: Noob! images/smilies/lol.gif

(j/k)

Check it with DivFix, see if there is anything wrong with it.

Could have gone bad during/after download.

Daniel · February 17th, 2005, 12:28 AM

No. I was shocked to find out that even Media Player Classic was unable to solve it. Thanks u guys for ur help. If anyone has a clue, let me know. Im so upset that I feel kinda gay really. images/smilies/mellow.gif

swek · February 17th, 2005, 12:31 AM

Maybe the different codecs are messing with eachother. Deinstall all videocodecs, reinstall VLC and it might work.

Daniel · February 17th, 2005, 12:32 AM

Oh MAN! I have DivFix somewhere but my search thing doesnt work. Where does it install itself?

Have tried. I also read a big ass guide which I followed completely. I now have every codec it says that I need. images/smilies/cry.gif

ESPNSTI · February 17th, 2005, 12:35 AM

Ehm whereever you told it to (dunno where that is, I never use the default).
Why doesn't your search work?

Daniel · February 17th, 2005, 12:37 AM

^I have no clue ESPNSTI. It's what happens when I try to get stuff fixed. I hate this computer. Im tired now. Ive had bloody too much. I wish there was a Nazi or something inside my tower that messed it up on purpose. Id torture him for decades. images/smilies/vampire.gif

swek · February 17th, 2005, 12:43 AM

Have you deinstaled them from this box ?

ESPNSTI · February 17th, 2005, 12:49 AM

One way to find divfix:
start->run->cmd
type:
cd \
dir divfix.exe /s

BTW, if you haven't done so recently, take a day to do some basic system checking:
-Run Most/All updates from Windows Update (not just the critical ones).
-Run Office Update (if you have Office).
-Update Drivers.
-Update Other Software.
-Do an Antivirus Check on your entire HD (after updating your Antivirus).
-Update Spybot Search & Destroy, immunize your system, and run a check.
-Update Adaware and run a check.
-Update MS Antispyware and run a check.
-Run Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and address problems found there.
-Check Disk your HD.

Daniel · February 17th, 2005, 12:56 AM

^Wow. Thanks a lot Ill do some of that,

I tried divfix and it found 27 corrupted files.

"Corrupted data detected at frame 5451 (00:03:47)
Error offset: 37167076 ($02371FE4)
Corrupted data detected at frame 6672 (00:04:38)
Error offset: 47650484 ($02D716B4)"

Does that mean its hopeless?? The DivFix file was totally screwed and 10 minutes shorter aswell.

Just let me know if it's hopeless. Im off now. Thanks a lot ESPNSTI, Swek, Padrino and UKD. I owe u guys.

ESPNSTI · February 17th, 2005, 01:17 AM

Sounds like it's toast, yes.
One last resort thing you could try is this:

Way back when I used to run uManiac's version of XVid ( http://umaniac.leffe.dnsalias.com/ ) because it seemed to be fairly resistant to corrupt files.
You'd have to uninstall your current XVid codec and install this:
http://xvid.hopto.org/stable/XviD.Ro....2003.1100.exe (Direct Link)
Mind you this is a very old codec, so I wouldn't use it permanently.

Verify that it's actually using the codec when playing the file:
Open it with Media Player Classic (mplayer2.exe) and go to File->Properties->Advanced.
Look at "Filters in Use" and "Codecs in Use" and check that the XVid codec is listed in one of them (I'm not sure if it'll be listed as uManiac's or not though).

Daniel · February 17th, 2005, 02:15 PM

^I dont think I dare to fiddle around with my codecs anymore. Just got it all working again. Im gonna delete these episodes and download from a friend. Thanks a buch ESPNSTI. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
