Dont bother using that windows player to watch .avi`s etc go here and download the VLC player www.videolan.org/vlc i never come across any file it wont play

 

[nowthen]

download this :

http://www.videolan.org/mirror.html...lan/&file=vlc/0.8.5/win32/vlc-0.8.5-win32.exe

then play it in that, plays everything that.

yeah mate you need the codec for the film,

you can download this http://download.divx.com/labs/DrDivX20OSS_rc1.exe

install that and it will sort out your codec for ya

You know, when youve been tickled

 

[milenko/]

do i run it or save it?

 

[misstickle]

if your asking me then you run it and install it, if your asking the others then the same will apply.

top one tickle, and that goes to the rest of you all

ill let you know how i get on

 

[misstickle]

I did get a little help from a friend in answering this for you though

norton is giving alarm bells off and saying block connections from this program on all ports.

norton is giving alarm bells off and saying block connections from this program on all ports.



i really wanna watch me film man

ok open your control center for norton, you can prob do this by double clicking on the firewall icon near the clock in your task bar.

Then open the firewall setting or search around for programs that are allowed access to the internet and select dr divx to be allowed access then click apply youll be right

also bear in mind norton is totally shit, will not pick up a lot of viruses and it gets its signatures about 24 hours later than other security vendors, also its very process hungry on your PC as well and just running in the back ground will eat at your PC process.

If your really scared about security get AVG free edition and Zone Alarm and Adware thats all youll need,

Also when you take of norton youll probably have to clean your registry as it doesnt like uninstalling proper, thats how wank it is, its nearly as bad as AOL but not quite.

Anyway ive just got all that info off a mate as well

errrrmmmmmm....................wot?

 

[misstickle]

errrrmmmmmm....................wot?

I can get cam to take over your PC from here, he will then make the ness ajustments to your firewall for the codec to be downloaded so win media player will play your film. You can watch as the mouse spookly moves itself making changes to your security settings wooooooooooooooo hoooooooooo

Ive never seen him do it before so I would like to watch to lol

 

[milenko/]

that sounds well dodge to me,

not that im an untrusting fella like but you get me drift?

 

[misstickle]

Its cool, he works for a Security Vendor so he knows his shit, but try this.

Go to the Norton icon near the clock, if your not sure which one it is, hover over it with the mouse and it will say norton, right click on it and select close or shut down and turn the whole thing off.

Then open the video itself and you shouldnt be behind a firewall, once youve watched the film and downloaded the codec once you reboot your PC your firewall will be back on and hey presto


OOOOOOOOOO I get by with a little help from my friends

Hiya

You could try this.

Uninstall the divx codec.

Go here http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

Download the one for your operating system(presumably windows)

Save it

Run the program

When it comes up with Select Additional Tasks,leave the tick in Decode all supported fourCC's and press next.

This will play most Avi's and will not ask for access to the internet like divx.

Hope this helps
