children_of_bodom_live_in_montreal_12_nov_2003.mpg codec?

[Day_Before_Dawn]

Ive just spent the last 2 hours downloading this from Delt's server, and am having problems getting the sound to work. Ive tried playing it on Real Player, Media Player and Zoom Player. But none can play the sound. So im guessing i need a codec for it. Does anyone have any idea where I can get this codec from? Or any other ideas how I can get this to work?.

Try the DivX player, or updating your real player...it works on Version 9 and up.

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

I downloaded the Media Player version 9 which didn't work. So I download the newest DIVX player I could find. But I still cannot hear any sound.

If I put the file onto a VCD. Would the sound still be lost?

 

[LazyGuitar]

I'm not to sure, i'm quite new to this... Sorry dude...

 

[Enemy242]

if its still downloading you probably won't get sound until its finished. it works perfectly on almost any player i have.

Hope that link works.

Still can't get this thing to work. Tried downloading several codecs, players, updates. So fustrating! :hotjump:

I couldn't play it with Windows Media Player 9, Winamp 5 or the latest DivX player, but I can play it fine with PowerDVD 5. I don't even have a DVD drive on my puter, but I installed PowerDVD anyways, because that Montreal video is mpeg-2, which is the encoding used for DVD. So try a DVD player like PowerDVD or WinDVD.

 

[jnj86]

Actually, since I installed PowerDVD, I can now play that file in Windows Media Player and DivX Player too.

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

Thanks mate!.

I still can't get it to work on any other players I have. But it runs on PowerDVD.

Christ this has been a difficult file!

 

[LazyGuitar]

Hmmm, I dont know why it fucked you around, it played on my Real Player...

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

The only reason i can think of mate. Is that im missing a codec or an update. The only other thing could be that the file didn't download correctly.

Like the dude previously said its's a mpg2 file. So i'm guessing that has something to do with it.

Thanks for the help anyway guys!.

My download seems to have just stopped dead.

If this dosnt download, I'm going to cry.

 

[LazyGuitar]

I can send it to you on msn if you want

 

[Asgath]

Thanks for the offer, but I'll see if it downloads properly this time
(Yeah, it failed ¬_¬)

But you can add me anyway if you like: d3cad3nc3@hotmail.com
Good to have some metal fans on my list

 

[Asgath]

This isnt working for me even with divX, it isnt an MPEG-4 nor an Avi, so it dosnt feel like playing it ¬_¬
And Media player says it dosnt have the codecs...
I'll restart I guess


Edit: Missed the PowerDVD info, better download that...

 

[LazyGuitar]

lol, if that fails i'll send you a codec via msn.

 

[LazyGuitar]

Oh another hint, fuck MediaPlayer, use RealPlayer as if i'm not mistaken, thats actually what mpg's play on.

 

[Asgath]

use RealPlayer as if i'm not mistaken, thats actually what mpg's play on.

Or do they?...

This gig is damn short, 30mins or something?...meh...still its bodom.

Got it working on some random MPEG-2 encoder

 

[LazyGuitar]

Yeah 30 minutes, same with Tuska though, you should get Tuska, the difference in quality of both the standard of playing & the sound/visual is incredible.
