Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 File types Can someone tell me what the file type AVI means. Why when I download an AVI file will it not play on my PC. If I do download it can I burn it onto DVD for playback thru a dvd player, also what is the best file type to download video to burn to dvd  |

| AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. It is a special case of the RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format). AVI is defined by Microsoft. AVI is the most common format for audio/video data on the PC. AVI is an example of a de facto (by fact) standard. Personally I would recommend VLC for playback since it has in-built codecs. But you can also get avi codecs to play in other players. See CODECs list and alternate players for Movies Nero & Roxio burner programs have the ability to convert & burn most (but not all) avi types. And yes, avi is simply like the outer shell, what's inside can vary greatly. |

| Thanks for the feedback. Are you saying that even though I can't playback AVI files on my PC, if I have nero (which I do) I can burn them and then watch on a dvd player. I have quite a view MPEG videos but can't seem to burn these to disc. Thanks for your help |

| If you have Nero then you'll need the MPeg2 codec that comes with the newer versions of Nero. With that you should be able to burn dvd's. Likewise Nero will convert the AVI files over to MPeg2 which is the format required for DVD's. In the link I gave you there's also another program listed there (TMPG encoder) you can use to burn or prepare videos for burning to dvd. It is a shareware program however so you can only use it for a period of time before you'd need to register it. For earlier versions of Nero I think you need to purchase the MPeg2 codec separately from their site. As for playback, QuickTime on its own cannot view all formats. You'd need to get the DivX codecs/plug-ins. At least with VLC all the codecs are built into the player itself. |

| Hi LOTR I'm totally new to this and it all seems a bit technical, thanks for sticking with me thru this difficult time. Anyway, on the top of the codecs info link you sent me there is an advert for AVS media http://www.avsmedia.com/VideoConverter/index.aspx They have a programme that will convert file types, is this the sort of thing I should get and would you recommend them. Thanks |

| lol the advertising on the forum we have little control over (Google ads - they show depending on what content is in each thread.) There's similar ads on this page also. I have no idea how good those converters are. I could not recommend something I don't know about. They may well do the job but the question is do they do it well without any noticeable loss of quality? Are there better ones out there or cheaper for same quality, etc.? I'd recommend you visit http://www.videohelp.com/ which has lists & reviews of good converters (some free), & it also has a forum section. Ask the experts in this area!  (I do my conversions on mac, not windows so I'm not very knowledgable about the best windows alternatives.) |
