What's the file extension?

So, you're saying that it plays one clip ok, but another clip with the same file extension does not play...?

If that's the case, then it probably isn't the codec. It's probably something about the file that won't play; it may be corrupted, or have something different about it... does Media Player give you any kind of error message?

Those knives are really beautiful, 300. If knives ~can~ be called "beautiful". There just isn't a better word I can think of right now to describe them.

:-D

Evenin' everyone.

[Ramius]

hey howdy there!

Yep. Them are some purty knives. Neat stuff.

[ExGeeEye]

I don't know the file extension. I've been trying to find it.

MP says several things very fast and then says "Error downloading codec" and begins playing the audio.

[RMDupree]

Hey there backatcha!

Half-watching TV, half-surfing, half-reading a terrific book and half-snoozin' in my chair.

I multi-task even when I'm "resting".

LOL!

P.S. I know it adds up to more than one. ;)

[ExGeeEye]

file ext is .avi

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I meant the file extension on the video file you're playing. If that's what you meant, then open a Windows Explorer, click the "Tools" menu, select "Folder Options". Click the "View" tab, find the box labeled "Hide file extensions for known file types", and un-check it if it's checked. Then click the "Apply" button, and "OK" on out. You should be able to view the file extension then.

In Media Player, try right-clicking the file name in the "Now Playing" section, and see if it gives you the option to view the error details.

That's what I get for posting without refreshing first...

[Ramius]

hehe...

I'm 1/4 freeping and 1/4 watching "Gladiator". I realize that's only a half. :-)

Sword... I need a sword... hmm...

[RMDupree]

No! No sword!

Use a pointy stick instead.

And take pictures! hehehehe...

[ExGeeEye]

In Media Player, try right-clicking the file name in the "Now Playing" section, and see if it gives you the option to view the error details.

Short version: did that, got this.

"The codec you are missing is not available for download from this site. You might be able to find it on another site by searching the Web for "VGPX" (this is the WaveFormat or FourCC identifier of the codec)."

A-hunting I will go...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

There you go... AVI files can have different resolutions/recording rates/etc. that aren't all compatible with all codecs. The one that won't play just needs its special codec.

[ExGeeEye]

Thank you for the help.

My next challenge is to find the one download of this thing that doesn't require me to sign up for a bunch of other carp :)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Heh, good luck with that...

Just thought you all might like to know... Elijah Wood appears in a film due out April 1, called "Sin City". It's another comic-book adaptation, but not a super-hero one. See the trailer here

[HairOfTheDog]

I saw a trailer on TV... and didn't pay a lot of attention to it until I saw his name flash across the screen. Didn't recognize him or anything!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

He only appears briefly in the trailer, near the end when all the stars are being listed.

Although I haven't read the comic, I really like the way the movie looks... can't wait to see it!

Wah! We're supposed to get snow here Saturday night/into Sunday. If it accumulates, I might not get to church!

I returned safely from my jaunt. Concert was FANTASTIC. Replaced two cds, one from each singer.

Good Morning, beautiful day, looks like a nice is in store for us. A bit of gardening on the agenda today. Gypsygirl is patiently waiting for her walk whilst we partake in our caffine fix. Sip - sip.

[Overtaxed]

Miss Cat has had second breakfast and I'm starting on my first.

Yep. Nice day for outdoor work....wonder if I'll lose a cat putting out the houseplants today. :)
