no videos will play...

newguy5 · 12-23-2007, 10:40 AM

i've had several videos on my old hd, they always played. installed xp on the new computer and transferred the files, none of them play. installed about 12 codecs now to no avail. ran videoinspector, they all say mpeg 1 and nothing will play, only the audio (no video). ??? what do i do?n i seriously have 12 codecs that support mpeg 1

what re you playing with ?
windows media player ? wmp is crap in my view, you can always use VLC or KLITE

windowsvista · 12-23-2007, 01:09 PM

yes if you are playing windows media player there can be probs but if you run real player that is good aswell

Uninstall all the codecs you have, install K-lite Mega codec pack and uninstall your driver and install your latest drivers. That should do the trick.

vlc media player has never failed me!!

newguy5 · 12-23-2007, 06:38 PM

i was using vlc. nothing was working. the audio plays and the video is running, but no picture whatsoever.

i'll try k lite and report back. i think that's the only codec bundle i haven't tried yet.

newguy5 · 12-23-2007, 06:47 PM

nope, quicktime, vlc, winamp, media player, etc. nothing works. audio plays, no video is displayed, even with k-lite. what the hell could the problem be?

jimkonow · 12-23-2007, 06:53 PM

corrupted files, methinks.

newguy5 · 12-23-2007, 07:12 PM

okay so i uninstalled all the CRAP that the ati disk came with and reinstalled latest drivers only from their website (not the other crap), then i did the k-lite codec pack and all the videos work now.

the error was somewhere in that ati stuff i believe, since the codec pack by itself did nothing.

so with the radeon card, where do you change vertical sync and aa settings and stuff? i was told to use riva tuner to turn the fan up on the 3850 but i had that installed and then read it was for nvidia...so that might also be a contribution to why the videos weren't playing. anyway, what can i use to turn the fan on the 3850 up? thanks.
