WHEN I TRY TO PLAY A MOVIE,IT SAYS I NEED A VIDEO CODEC OR DATA,NAMED FOURCC TYPE 0. DOES SOMEBODY KNOW HOW TO GET THIS,IF YOU DO PLZ HELP ME.
Me wonders if you've downloaded a dummy file from a p2p service... ie an empty file put there to trick you. Just a thought.
Firstly, don't be using all caps, gets annoying It sounds that you have downloaded a codec that is corrupt in some way. Remove all video codecs and codec packs from you computer. Then download from http://www.divx.com/ the new DivX codec 5 and install. You should also donwload an Xvid codec from Kieopi. Try your file again. If no success, try downloading the V Player, http://www.vidomi.com/ and install it. It will play all files associated with DivX or Xvid and if you have a problem, it will show on this.
Get the normal divx codec and get the MPEG-4 3.11 alpha release codec too because it is just a god! lol also get gspot, it will help with some codec problems in future mate!
yea yo this "0" codec thing is pissin me off...i cant get it to work..i have the xvid codec and everything...
Four CC code "0" is usually a fake file/bad header if gspot says you can play it ...you can...(meaning it shows a route the video will take) But if you watch it '''it's a black screen and if you watch long enough you will see a few spots of white snow appear in a almost black screen (a little bit of white specks) This is a probably a fake file you probably got it from p2p... expect fakes and bad movies when you go that route
I am just curious,wut eles would you use instead of a p2p?What eles is out there that is better and/or more reliable?Thx a lot.
Maybe I over did it on the last thread, I found this nice little Player Called VLC that will allow you to watch or preview, DAT file from P2P. It also plays DVD,SVCD,VCD, MPEG and alot more. I have found it to be very useful. Thats just my opinion Thus saving you the time of making a mistake. I have used this player many times and have found it to be very helpful. Here is a link to the home page. http://www.videolan.net/vlc/index.html_X_X_X_X_X_[small]Despite All My Rage - I'm Still Just A Rat In A Cage! [/small]
Try the a FourCC changer (i.e., http://www.inmatrix.com)? If you know the movie is real, why dont you just change the codec to what it should be? Go to http://www.fourcc.org/ for a list of FourCCs. Hope that helps...
