Da Pirates Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hello, I recently torrented some stuff and it was in .avi format. When I clicked to play the file, it came up in windows media player with voice only. Is it possible to view .avi files normally? Like with the video. BR BR BR?

Sbrideau Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 If you haven't done so, you can download Divx, which will embed it's codec in Windows Media Player to let you view .avi files correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errdoth Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 VLC is going to play just about anything, it's a helluva lot better than WMP (Though I still prefer kaffeine over both of them, VLC lags a lot for me in linux. It's amazing on windows though :P ) Last.fm Signature Overlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I clicked to play the file, it came up in windows media player with voice only. Is it possible to view .avi files normally? Like with the video. Install the CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) that you'll find on the pages at http://www.cccp-project.net/, and then you'll be able to play near anything you like in near your own choice of any media player. Oh, and make sure that you read the install instructions for first-time stuff and heed them, otherwise you'll regret the negative effects. :geek: ~D. V.

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 CCCP isn't bad, but I'd go with VLC personally. Supports most any format right out of the box, works great with any OS (as I think CCCP is localized to Windows - bad if you're on Mac/*nix), and it's reliably fast, too.

Jaziek Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 CCCP is better than VLC in my experience. VLC played next to nothing at a decent speed and had tons of bugs, at least the build I used, whereas media player classic + CCCP runs absolutely anything smoother than media player 11 ever could.

I havent downloaded a new build in ages, simply because CCCP was doing a damn good job. Are the new versions THAT much of an improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'd recommend VLC. It's been improved quite a bit since about a year ago. The interface is better (volume is no longer a progress bar :P), and several features now work much better than they did before. It doens't hog nearly as much memory as WMP does either. As for CCCP, I haven't used this, so I can't compare. "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
