    [bold]r.burgy[/bold] did say downloaded [bold]video[/bold].

    There was no mention of a movie or a name of a movie.
    I don't think that someone just saying they downloaded a video should get such an immediate reaction and warning. I know there are thousands and thousands of legal video downloads on the Internet and unless someone specifically refers to something illegal, I think they should get the benefit of the doubt.

    With out knowing what type of video you are referring to, I would guess it is a codec problem. Posting the file extension would help.
    .avi, .mpg, .asf, .wmv, .rm, .mov.

    Try to find what codec your video file needs with GSpot.

    Get that codec.

    IMO, AviCodec is a better choice than GSpot so you should try that out too. GSpot is good but AviCodec also has support for a lot of other formats too!

    Well hang on a sec man, even dRD said the forum rules could be a little bit clearer :) but for those who dont know this is kinda the way aD users deal with piracy related posts........

    If someone says they got a movie and the source they got it from then they have broken the rules, if they say they got a movie and mention the name i usually remove the name of the movie! So ye there's nthing wrong with this post but as I said earlier mate, even the main man says the forum rules could be clearer!
