| SiMi | Before I used to be able to play all types of videos on my media player and shit. now when i try it this windows installer window just shows up with a little bar that shows the progress. I have to click cancel several times on it. This never used to happen before and now when I try to watch the old movies that i used to be able to watch, I can't watch them no more. Why is that? | December 17, 2003, 12:08 AM |
| iago | You're probably missing Codecs. Some are free, some aren't. I would suggest finding the free ones and buying the others ;) | December 17, 2003, 12:32 AM |
| SiMi | I downloaded the new windows codec's I think i need some other ones. Can you guys tell me where to download the codec's at? Side note: I was also downloading south park episodes and they didn't work. | December 17, 2003, 1:01 AM |
| Null | IIRC , the south park episode's i have are in .RAM format , supported by Real Player | December 17, 2003, 2:19 AM |

Null - It's doubtful there's only a single version. | December 17, 2003, 2:28 AM |

Just trying to make him aware and with any luck solve his delema. | December 17, 2003, 2:52 AM |
| Stealth | http://nimo.everwicked.com/ -- the website for the Nimo Codec Pack, which is afaik the most complete set of video codecs available. If you install those, and WMP still can't play it, get VideoLAN -- http://videolan.org -- a sexy, opensource video player that can pick up where Windows Media leaves off. | December 17, 2003, 3:40 AM |
| Hitmen | The k-lite codec pack seems to be pretty complete. | December 17, 2003, 3:53 AM |
| Yoni | There's a new(?) codec called Real Alternative that lets you view .rm and .ram movies in a DirectShow supporting player (read: any Windows Media Player based player, and any other sane player) to avoid the piece of shit software RealMedia makes. Dunno exactly where to get it, google. | December 17, 2003, 7:19 AM |
| Hitmen | The real alternative (as well as a quicktime one) is avalible at the link I posted above :P | December 17, 2003, 11:30 PM |
