XVID-DCN

Hey guys i just download a movie and it wont play what codec do i need to play it DVDRip.XViD-DcN

If i could get some help that would be great thanks

DID YOU TRY XVID CODEC?

Ya i did but it still wont play

What is the FourCC on this file?

Where’d you download it from?

If you’re getting it using a program that doesn’t have corruption handling, try scanning it for bad frames:

Frightfo0,
If you don’t know what to answer so don’t answer because you’re writing bullshits!!!

Now Sketchy listen up,
Download “ffdshow” from here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ffdshow/ffdshow-20030523.exe?download (yoo need to choose a mirror to download from) and install it. It includes a good xvid codec, and then download an ac3 codec (you can download one from this site in the audio codec section. Here is a link: http://download.divxmovies.com/ac3filter_0_70b.exe).

Thanks a lot for this message about the downloading. It helped !

KilleR: FFDShow doesn’t come with an XviD codec. It’s actually a DirectShow Decoding filter, which uses the Libavcodec that comes from the FFMPEG project. It cannot encode, it only decodes.

Also, you’ll see that, that “AC3 codec” you linked to is infact a filter. It’s a DirectShow Decoding filter for AC3.

Needless to say, if the file is corrupted in any way, it’s going to have problems playing in any media player. This is why I asked whether they’d downloaded the file using a form of P2P, that doesn’t have Corruption Handling (ability to verify the file’s been downloaded in it’s entirety, without any errors).

Also KilleR, your FFDShow link is out of date. There a more recent versions already available, that aren’t listed over at SourceForge.

thanx KilleR.
had a bunch of IMAX/bbc nature flicks w/out audio. All are sounding fine.
cheers.
