wow got a couple of kids posting in here, grow up.

im sorry peerless i must have miss your post i guess i was to focused on xcom's overzealous marketing for his magic fix codec pack. ( plus i thought advertising was agenst the rules , like spamming as much as you can the you package can fix anything.)

Peerless · #17 (**permalink**) January 19th, 2008

its not advertising if one is linking to a free product....and rules are general things up to the Moderators (which I'm one of) to enforce (and or 'break')...

if you don't want a harsh response don't make such an idiotic remark like the codecs don't work (because they do)

Sleepless · #18 (**permalink**) January 19th, 2008

Just be careful that you don't install more then one codec pack, because that will not work. Just to confuse you a bit more. Combined Community Codec Pack

It's the bestest ever codec pack to ever grace the Earth used in conjunction with Media Player Classic (Incl. in Download)

oh, so thats how you get away with bullshiting people . plus its not just one post its in his sig, therefor its in everyone of his posts.

Well XP codec pack really isn't that bad. Only reason I switched is because it has terrible x264 support.

Seriously you should try the CCCP codec pack. Just install Media player Classic (MPC) with it, not Zoom player (also incl. in the download)

MPC is a very good standalone player, which is low on resources and has all the functions you would want in a player, and you aren't getting in WMP.

Only only conflict known is if you also use VobSUB to make DVD subtitles, in which case I wouldn't recommend it.

And I remind you and everyone reading this once again. DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONE CODEC PACK. It will in many cases cause heaps of trouble.

P.S. xCom isn't very old and is just trying to help

Y Thank you Sleepless.
I did not mean to be rude or any thing.
I tend to go over board some times.

....uh huh.....you know d00d, your 'tone' is getting a bit grating....

take the above as a warning shot across your bow...the precursor to giving you an official warning if you keep it up...which of course is a precursor to being banned

Alhaxit · #23 (**permalink**) January 20th, 2008

so its the "tone" of this bs that is what get things done? so who do i direct to you downtalking posts for your punisment?

Al, If you like being here on the Forums, I will just give you a little advise.
DON'T FU*K with Peerless. He is a Super Mod. and won't put up with any SH*T. Keep it up and your Gone. Up to You d00d. I think you have been warned.

Sleepless · #25 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2008

lol you Americans are funny. How can you give a red card for an infraction? In every sport I know a red card would mean banned. You are supposed to give a yellow card.

Remoc · #26 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2008

Here in the good ol' USA, sometimes you're Guilty until proven Innocent. Automatic Red Card. LOL

There was plenty of evidence to warrent the Red Card. IMO

Lord of the Rings · #27 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2008

Last couple posts off topic a little lol ... but the person in question was warned via an infraction, which is a point warning system (yes similar to a yellow card) & is sent via PM. The person's response is what caused them to be temporarily punished.

(eg: like telling the referee/umpire what they thought about the yellow card, usually gets them into more trouble. It's times like that they need to keep a level head & just accept the warning.

)

AL: I haven't been on this forum for awhile,so straight away your post drew Me in. You see I was thinking I was going to see yet another Burnt-out Rouge-Mod stepping outta line,but after reading this thread from top to bottom I can't see how You could think anyone was outta line but you!
I mean here was a N00B asking how to accomplish video playback & the guys who answered him were 100% dead-on,not a single doubt about that.
Now I'll grant you that the codec packs mentioned aren't recommended by the power user's over at Afterdawn or Doom9 as to be the best to install on Windows since they have been known to cause problems with the OS & besides they're Bloat-ware.
But seeings how the poster is new to Compression/Decompression & playback of .avi files,any 1 of the codec packs mentioned would have suited his needs perfectly.

Codecs are used to compress videos for ease of storage & transport size. Once the file is relocated onto a medium like a dvd-5/9 or another hard drive it is then once again via Codecs decompressed for playback by the player(MPC or VLC). It's not the player that Compresses & Decompresses the avi but rather it's the Codec's job to do that for the player so that the player can then do it's job & play the file.
You don't have a clue as to what makes a video(avi.file) play or not! and how You could post on this forum & act like you do is beyond Me, I mean what were You thinking Dude? "A Codec will help it's what makes them play"
Your very first post in this thread was tainted with cynicism, Straight Up Dude You're Wrong On All Points!

All I install for "playback of My DVD's & almost all My video files" is ffdshow & MPC & then I if I need another codec then & only then do I install it.
Because as I understand it,for one to install all those codecs in one fell swoop is asking for trouble.
Anyway I don't know most of the mods here except the one's who've helped Me out aprox a year ago(you know who you are) but I can say he knew what I didn't & I'm sure all the Mods do or they wouldn't be

Mods!
Keep Up the Good Work Guys.
