I play all my .avi with VLC media player

Go get it

Hi Guys , this VLC player seems to work fine with the avi.001 format.

It worked fine for me,

Thanks

Hey, I got a question.

I downloaded the .avi movie file “The Business” and joined it using hjsplit as instructed.

Here is my question. The joined file could be played in VLC player but only after it opend and said “This AVI file is broken. Seeking will not work correctly. Do you want to try to repair it?" I clicked Yes, and it said “Creating Avi indes..." then once complete it plays in VLC. It does not work however in Windows Media Player. I want to put it on my archos and watch it on my television instead of the computer screen, but that only works with files that can play in Windows Media Player.

Does anyone know what the difference is, and how I can repair the movie permanently so that i can play the repaired version in Windows Media Player and eventually my TV via Archos Video Recorder AV420.

its the avi file, join with hjsplit! rename to .avi after join!


What does this mean how do you rename the file?

just use hjsplit to combine all the files then with the end file, the 'file' one, just change the extension to .avi This should save having to hange all 7 smaller files.

Crystal Player or VLC player with ( codec8.1 ) solved ur problems 100percent.

Please use [ Total Converter ] to play at window media player etc...100percent solved.No need to do more.

hiya,

I’ve been reading the posts and found them very helpful, however it does not solve my problem. I have an avi.002 file that will not play in anything; none of the codecs work. after a while i figured out that it must be because it was a split file. (in two parts) however i don’t want the first part i only want the second part. how can i view it without having to download the first part and using hjsplit for it? i hope someone can help me becaus that first part was, like, a thousand MBs

thanks

tryed to download a movie off limewire, and it givies me this error when i try to watch the movie, “Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." I think it might have somthing to do with the codec’s. Because one day I deleted something important, and the next day the wm player for avi. Did not function. My question to you is, what do I do to fix this

Note: it plays mpg’s and other stuff, but not the avi format, which seems to be wwat every movie plays off of.

If you want to watch one segment of a file that has been split using HJSplit I think you can do it by changing the extension from .002(or whatever) to .mpg or .avi.

Try the following. I am using XP, so this all assumes you are using XP. If you are using Vista, I am sure you can do the same thing but will have to find where the controls are.

1) Copy the file that you want to view to another folder.

2) In the new folder, go to the Tools and choose Folder Options....then click on View.

3) Once in View, uncheck the box marked “Hide extensions for known File Types." And then click Apply. This will now change every file in every folder to display the extension.

4) Now go to the file you want to watch which we will say is named Movie.002 Put the cursor at the end of the file, and hit the delete until all that is left is the name Movie. Then immediately type .avi or .mpg and click on the file. This should change the file from a split file back to the movie format. If .avi doesn’t work, try the same thing again using .mpg or wmv etc. That is why you should try this using a copy of the original file in case you need to try it a couple times.

5) You can then go back to the Folder Options and recheck the Hide known file types.

Hope this helps.

Thanks ichigo rox for ur suggetion...

Some .avi downloaded files may actually be .rar or .zip files wrongly named as .avi files to purposely mislead the net users. Rename the files as .rar or .zip files and unzip them using programs like winrar. Again unzip the extracted files. Now files recognised by the common media players are thereby extracted. The files will usually contain unwanted advertisements.

you fags. all this talk mean bullsquat to me. WTF. what do I do??!!! What is easiest to play clone wars?!!!!!! Fuck HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

guys...
i have downloaded a file which is in 20 different rar files...
when i open them, the .avi file i get does not run on any of the media players....
any means that i’ve tried all of them....
in the rar folder it says that an encoder is needed to encode the file and then run it.... i dont know which encoder to use...
plz help me.

yup, its problem with the splitter, once you split the file it shows as .001, .002 etc depends on the parts you splitted. if you want to play the complete file / movie then you need to download the HJSplitter (http://www.treepad.net/download/hjsplit.zip) and join the files. While joining splitter expects all the part files else you will get the error..

Happy Watching

download http://www.treepad.net/download/hjsplit.zip
(just type http://www.treepad.net/download/hjsplit.zip
into the adress bit at the top) and you will automatically download a file that joins all movies (or parts of movies) in the same format with .avi.001 .avi.002 etc in the folder. very good thanks
