Mpeg Video
 

Okay, maybe it's just me, but when I download video something funky happens. I can play through the first 7 minutes of a 45 minute episode, but then it seems like the other 7 minute segments were "layered" into the file (meaning sometimes I can click on different sections of the video and start watching parts I wouldn't see if I watched straight through) Is there something wrong with the files (all are .mpg) or is it my siftware (mac OS 9/X, Quicktime 5, WMP 6.3, Divx 1.08b, I think). I've never heard of files showing new content on loops like this......

I have exactly the same problem, and I'm wondering if you've found a workaround?

That can easily be the result of a data corruption/loss. Since the file encoding is compressed (specially with divx) even a little loss can bring a great damage which usually ends up in making some "stop info" instead of proceedeng to the next readable part. All this is jut supposition although I think it is quite how it works.

Time to trow your Mac out with the trash ... :D

I've had a few Mac users forward me some of these "weird" mpg's .

Media Player (doesn't matter wich version) does play them fine .
I noticed parts were it skipped some frames but that's it .
Probably the parts were Quicktime goes nuts .

Everyone exept Apple employees will tell you Mac's suck when it comes to compatibility . :cool:
On OS stability they do perform better then PC's but that's the only advantage .

I saw it there yesterday ... :)

Our server is going trough an upgrade , so the site is down .
And someone systematicly hacks our forum so we removed it until we have decent security .

Basicly everything is falling apart . :(
I don't remember all the links but the latest Windows version will always be at this link :

Re: Thank you
 

Er... What does this mean?

but i dDID mean what i said when i said you are beautiful!!!!

Well look at that . His monitor must be malfunctioning . :)

Uhoh ...

answer to mpg problems on MACS
 

Here is the answer. Most porn/movies/ whatever kind of video files/etc are still distributed through the internet via usenet/newsgroups/nntp( im sure many of you new kiddies dont know about). Before you guys get your movies/porn/etc through limewire, it always comes through usenet first. In order to post movies/binaries/etc on usenet, you must break your movie into pieces and send them as seperate files. the program/standard usually used to seperate them is called rar and is usually always disassembled/reassembled on windows. Then people download all the pieces and reassemble the rar files to make a whole movie file again. The problem is when the rar program reassembles the pieces again, it doesnt put it back to its 100% original form . Some of the header content from the rar program gets left behind inside of the movie file. For some reason, this causes the mac's implementation of the mpg reader to get messed up. I'm not sure who to blame, it could be mac for not implementing mpg good, it could be rar for not being "clean" enough during reassembly, or it could be windows for allowing a messed up implementation work in their media player. this problem SHOULD go away as people start to use more programs like limeiwre which dont require files to be disassembled and reassembled.
btw, new video/programs/content ALWAYS comes out on usenet first. if you guys camnt happen to find what you are looking for on limewire, you can try usenet, but be wrened, it is a 100 times harder to use than limewire. Usenet comes from the very veyr beginning of the internet. HAPPY SEARCHING!!!!

I know that most files went tru Usenet at some point .
I also know of those big hidden FTP servers with more then 1000 gig .

I used to be one of those porn swappers on IRC .
I even had my own leech server . I was 14 at the time ...

I know how un-userfrendly Usenet was .
Finding those big FTP servers was also difficult .
So I deciced to let people come to me instead of me looking everywhere .
So I launched my own FTP and IRC leech server .

I was swapping more then illegal programs .
I have about 280 GB of porn sepparated over several HD's .
You name it , I've seen it . :)
