Computer Video Problem

[Lasz]

I have noticed lately that a few video files that I have downloaded dont have sound.

They seem to be .avi files. Is their some codec or something I am supposed to download?

 

[StrawberryPez]

I have no clue. I just wanted to say hi

 

[Lasz]

well I want you to help with other things anyhow.

Does it involve a video camera?

Hey Laz? When you right click on the file and choose the tab in properties that doesn't say "general" (can't remember what it does say) Does it tell you what codec you're missing?

Failing that, try Nimo's codec. http://www.btinternet.com/~nimosiro/

or DivX 5.0 http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divxcodec5.html

You don't need the player, you just need it to install the codecs.

Either one should work.

Did Nora's advice work?

The file says divx codec which I have, so I dont know whats up

ok, I had to actually look at an AVI. lol Umm..it wasn't porn. Really. *cough*

Ok, the tab is the preview tab. If it's just saying "DivX codec" and you already have it, you might wanna either upgrade to the latest which is 5.0 I think, or just reinstall. Can't hurt, anyway.

Have you tried playing it with different players? I have this one clip that will ONLY play the sound through real player, even though it's not an .rm file. I dunno why. Fortunately, I don't care for the clip so much that it's a hassle for me.

I upgraded divx and it still wont work.

When I opened it up in Real player it said that one of the streams is in an unsupported format. I guess its the audio stream.

That's fucked up. Hrm.

I hate this shit. I suck at it. *thinking*

What program are you normally viewing AVIs in?

WIndows Media player.

But I tried the Divx player and Real player.

Ugh. Ok. I'm gonna ask the geeks, I mean the programmers at work tomorrow. If I forget, just send me a PM. From what I'm seeing doing a search, the full version of Nimo's should work, but fuck if i know...there's a point at which it all goes beyond my incredibly limited knowledge.

Sowwy =(

Thank You Nora, for all your help

 

[Nora]

Wasn't much help, hon. LOL

Ok, let's go simple. Try dl'ing the audio codec for AVIs from here: http://dagnabit.org/~trepies_001/tools.html

Might work, Probably won't.
