Genete · Post by **Genete** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:08 pm

This evening I'll upload all the files (some of them not splited in parts) to sendspace.com and send the links to Fahim. AFTER he download the files I'll post the links here also for the unpatient. Later I hope he can host the files and then my webpages will be updated.

It is a pitty that I didn't do in that way from the begining...

Also I want to grab the second part of tutorial 6.

Genete,

I am quite interested in your tutorials, however, I've been unable to view them--I get a codec not found error from Windows Media Player.

What codec are you using and how can I get it?

Genete · Post by **Genete** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:51 pm

According to the info I can obtain from the properties option they are:
video: ISO -MPEG-4 (ffmpeg)
audio: MPEG layer 2/3

As well as the video was encoded using ffmpeg and its mpeg4 option codec I assume that this is the divx/xvid codec as per reading the ffmpeg documentation.
So if you install this codec to your windows media player you would see the videos.
Please tell me if it works.
Regards
Genete

PS: I'll upload tonight the videos to DarthFurby's web space (THANKS DarthFurby!!!

) as well as he have offered me a portion of his host to put there the videos. Sendspace is OK but in the future could be deleted if nobody download them in 7 days.
I hopefully tonight I'll grab tutorial 6 part 2.

Hmmm. I have XVid installed already, and I just went into the XVid config dialog to make sure it recognizes all the fourcc codes listed in the config box.

WinMediaplayer still doesn't recognize the codec, nor does RealPlayer, nor does Quicktime.

Too bad XVid doesn't come with its own player. I don't seem to have DivX on this machine, tho... I'll try installing it and tell you what happens.

The DivX player also objects to the tutorial file.

It complains, "This file contains an unknown format (code """") format. You may need to install a DirectShow decoder for this video format in order to play this file."

So. Neither WMP, QT, RealPlayer, nor DivX will play this file for me. How are you other guys viewing it?

i'm viewing it with Gom player

I'm also unable to get the tutorials to play

Edit* GOM Player works fine. I didn't really want to install yet another media player but it was worth it! Thanks Selgin. Thanks Genete

Yes, I can confirm that GOM player is the solution.

Thanks

Sorry guys if I'm causing troubles with the installations of new players or codecs. I have spend sometime trying to make different versions of the same video with different codecs to satisfy some of you that have problems to see them but unfortunately I have failed.
Finally I decided to let the original video as untouched as possible, only reaise the volume if needed. So forget me if the video is difficult to see for some of you.
I have linux and usually have installed as many codecs as I can to don't loose nothing in internet. You know, windows have its own format (wmv) and mac its own one (mov)... linux don't have only one... want to have all!!!

Thanks for your support.
