Blipo Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 A few days ago I (legally) torrented a movie. When I tried to play it, I received a codec error. I torrented it again to be sure I hadn't corrupted it, and the same error came up. I'm pretty sure it wasn't bogus, because it had 12k seeds and 22k peers at the time. [hide]Media Type 0: -------------------------- Unknown AM_MEDIA_TYPE: majortype: MEDIATYPE_Stream {E436EB83-524F-11CE-9F53-0020AF0BA770} subtype: MEDIASUBTYPE_Avi {E436EB88-524F-11CE-9F53-0020AF0BA770} formattype: TIME_FORMAT_NONE {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} bFixedSizeSamples: 1 bTemporalCompression: 0 lSampleSize: 1 cbFormat: 0[/hide] I thought this was a one-time problem, but recently I torrented a collection of old TV shows. They all have the same errors. I ran them through a codec checker, and it tells me "Open error The specified module could not be found", and then a link to the movie I'm trying to check. What... is going on? Note: I have VLC, WMClassic, WMPlayer, Real Player, CCCP, and a bunch of other coded packs. None of them will play my file. Google has not helped me. If you suggest any of these things, I will kill you without hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What was the torrent? Post a link to the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blipo Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Why does everyone ask this? My history clears after a day, I don't have the links anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Why does everyone ask this? My history clears after a day, I don't have the links anymore. Well because it kinda would be helpful to see exactly what the video was. If people have asked you this question before, and now I did, don't you think you should find the link? Anyway if it's a codec error, try re-installing them all. Google K-lite media codec pack. Download the normal/full version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blipo Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 I uninstalled all my codecs; didn't help. however, that codec pack did. Thanks a lot. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
