Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. 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. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. 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.

I'm running out of ideas. Well then, did you download DivX yet? DivX runs avis I believe. If you download, designate DivX as your default AVI player. Try that; we'll see if it works.

This goes without saying, but what we're going into is beyond what Limewire support really covers. As in, we're really not talking about limewire, but something you downloaded about limewire. I should say, just legally of course, that whatever you downloaded I assume you downloaded legally, etc., etc.

open the file even though it says the right compressor can't be found. If it says that the format is IV5 or IV32 or something, do a search on that with google and download a codec. If it says something else is the format, go to 3ivx.com and download the 3ivx codec, and then go to download divx doctor II which converts avi to mov (you need this if you want sound on your movie)here

this is kinda weird bu even though it says that the file is an avi, when i look at the quicktime movie info it says that the format is MPG4.

I also tried going to 3ivx.com and downloading the divx doctor 2.1 - it gave me an error when i tried to "fix" the simpsons episode it apparently is not an avi as it was labled, but an MPG4

I do have the 3ivx D4 4.04 for Mac OS9

can i decode the MPG4 with what i have or does that require additional software?

As far as I know avi isn't a format, just a container. 3ivx is an mpeg-4 codec so it should decode your file. What kind of error do you get when putting the file in Divx Doctor?

first of all, i wanna get something straight: are mpg and mpeg the same thing or are they different formats that come in one container or is mpg a container for mpeg or vice-versa?

This is the error as it appears in the error log after i have doctored the specific avi i downloaded:

DivX Doctor II Shutting Down

DivX Doctor II (2.1) Starting Up

Doctoring AVI
FILE = Macintosh HD:System Folder:Preferences:Shared:Simpsons - Mojo the #13F85.avi
ERROR: Building Repaired AVI
FILE = Macintosh HD:System Folder:Preferences:Shared:Simpsons - Mojo the #13F85.avi
ERR = -223,
ERROR: Doctoring AVI
FILE = Macintosh HD:System Folder:Preferences:Shared:Simpsons - Mojo the #13F85.avi
ERR = -223,
ERROR: Error while Doctoring
FILE = Macintosh HD:System Folder:Preferences:Shared:Simpsons - Mojo the #13F85.avi
ERR = -223,

it doesnt make much sense to me but its repeated about 3 times in the error log

also, one more thought - the problem might be just as simple as the particular avi i downloaded was somehow corrupted so i think ill try downloading and launching another avi and see if that doesnt work.

mpg and mpeg is the same thing, mpg is just a shorter name.
What is the size of the file? (don't ask why I wanna know)

I just downloaded that file (for the purpose of helping you only, don't wanna break any copyright infrigments) It didn't play for me either and said mpg4 as the format. I'll check around the 3ivx forum to find a solution.

VLC plays the video, but not the audio. It says the codec is ms (stupid Micro$oft) so I guess you should just find something else.
