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.

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.

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.

 VLC Media Player Hi All... I have downloaded three versions of a movie which is current here in Australia and everyone of them has come up with a Codec Error when I go to test it and put a judgement on Bitzi. It is saying that I require VLC Media Player which I download but when I go to install it I receive an error on the Dowloads which says "This download has been blocked by your Secutiry Zone Policy". The movie plays for about a minute before rerouting to VLC Media Player download. It looks good and there are no viruses but I am not computer literate enough to know what Security Zone Policy is, what it means, if it is changeable and if so, is it safe to do and how do I do it, please? Any help would be greatly appreciated because I would really like to see this movie and it has been very hard finding a copy which is even mentioned on Bitzi and I am happy for you to respond to my email: [email]***. Thanks everyone...  Last edited by Lord of the Rings; July 26th, 2009 at 10:25 AM. Reason: edited out private information to comply with forum rules .. for your own safety  |

| We actually highly recommend VLC .. just make sure you get it from the official site & it's mirror download sites: VLC (click on link). VLC has in-built codecs & is generally highly reliable. My guess is you were playing a mkv file? The blocking might have been caused by your computer security system blocking software calls outward which is a good thing that it does block it.  |

| hi You have not stated what operting system you are running, a very important point. If it is Vista or XP with Service Pack 3 than you will be enjoying the security 'improvements'. Have a look at Black Viper's Web Site for 'tweaks' that will probably solve your problem. Main thing is to disable all of the MS security stuff. Might sound foolish but it's the price to pay if you want to have even moderately good performance and reduce your clicking by about 300%! The 'tweaks' are all safe. Plus, although there are many who will argue for their own favourites, I would recommend the Cole2k STANDARD Codec pack and 'easy' installation, and the All In One 6.0.3.0 Codec Pack (again with the standard/default settings). One basic 'secret' is to remove/uninstall your existing Codec Packs, do a restart and then install first Codec Pack Standard next All In One 6.0.3.0 Then, do a shutdown. Next, start your comp and install the latest VLC Media Player The installation order is important. Last, if you occasionally have problems with VLC and DVD material it is no big surprise and PowerDVD will probably run the DVD without problems. btw, VLC should have no problems with Matroska files. |

| VLC Media Player Hi and thanks for your response. What is happening is that I go into the folder in which the downloaded movie is stored. I then click on it to start it. The movie starts and then a message comes onto the screen over the playing movie saying something like "you are trying to play a High Definition movie and we require you to download VLC Media Player. We hope that this does not cause you any problems". Then, the movie stops and all of a sudden the browser is in front of me with the Download screen of VLC Media Player. As I said on Bitzi, it has happened three times with what I thought were three different versions of the movie (all titled differently) but they all turned out to be the same. And the rest you know. |

| VLC Media Player Hi Lord of the Rings... The file extension is .avi. The file size is 683 MB and I run on Windows XP. Thanks for your response. You must be up at all hours of day and night! Regards, Perregrine |

| avi is a containor file .. the actual file type inside could be anything, but my guess is H/X.264 or Matroska. (Matroska is generally a containor file itself but I believe there is a specific Matroska video format also; not sure)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MatroskaI'm a night owl lol  I'm actually from the same land mass as you.  You won't have problems if you use VLC .. but pripla's suggestion is ok too. |
