I have a problem with a avi file that I download it. I tried to open with windows media player, bs player, divx player, and nothing. and I tried gspot and it can´t identified the necessary codec. Could you help me? thanks

gspot rocks. I d/l gspot and installed it. I then right-clicked on my .avi file and clicked open with->GSpot. When it opened it already figured out my missing codecs and installed them for me. I was then able to play my .avi files.

Thanks :-)

OK WAIT so u guys downloaded ffdshow? How come the link doesn work for me. and what do u guys use to pplay he avi files? Realplayer?

Ok, Xvid is usually whay u need to decode it. Its a small program, actually just a .exe- run it and the file and *p0oF!*

Another thing why it wont play on WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER... G’s i wonder why..Common use common sense its microsft for ya- they want total control on what u watch- dont us WMP- its a POS form head to toe..

use DivX or WinAmp or power dvd- or some others, sure they all need to be bought, so buy them...or not, -=)

I downloaded these southpark episodes with torrent...

they don’t work with:
-WMP
-Winamp
-Quicktime
-Realplayer
-VLC
-GSPOT

I also have DIVX and XVID but nothing seems to work and ffdshow also didn’t work

ay yo tanks 4 da advise.. i just downloaded da ffdshow and da G-spot.. & guess wat?? it fucken worked!!!!!! thankssssssssss ma niggas..

vlc player is fine..thank u...

took me a lil while to find that allin1 thing, but i did. just dont give up hope, whatever. limewire (which can be used legally, too) found it eventually, even though i HAD an internet site by then.. oh well.. LW was faster. (3kb/sec on the site. terrible..)

hey guys!!! I had problems with my avi files( one day they were palying and the next...probably becuase I installed a program?weel who knows!)...but with your help..the gspot and the ffshow...they worked again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!

I’m having similar problems. The other day I watched a full avi file movie all the way through, but today I tried playing it in windows media player and I just got a pop up window saying class not recognised. I can’t play it in anything other than an old divx player, but I keep getting some sort of green flash apearing every second, making it unwatchable. It’s espcially frustrating as I know I can play it, and I didn’t install anything else, so I just don’t see why. Oh, and I still use windows ME, so I can’t update my divx player. Basically, I’ve tried everthing on the previous pages and nothing’s worked. SO, any suggestions?

Great used the second one .. worked perfect

:P

careful installing random codecs willy nilly, some can really fuck your computer up!

hi, i have a problem, i don’t know if someone else has already posted it, anyway, i’m trying to see the preview of some LOST episodes i’m downloading, i used to play them in AVIpreview but it doesn’t work anymore and each time i click “preview” on LimeWire it takes me to WMP but it appears an error message that says that the player doesn’t admit the codec with which it is compressed, so, does anybody knows how to make that the player admits that codec or has any solution? or can anybody tell me how can i fix my AVIpreview or if there is any software i can use to play avi files? (please don’t include irfan view or quicktime)

4 a start m8 limewire is full of adware and spyware unless u are usin the paid 4 version but u can never be sure a file is gonna work untill u actually d/l it and try them so be patient and try again,, personnelly i would advise u into lookin at bittorrents for ur d/l its much faster and ull find more stuff hope this helps m8ee
