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.

Unhappy Video download

Just joined recently and had no problems in dowloading audio but after I spent several hours downloading some movies (avi-mov-and mpeg) I had problems. I have all the players. Real,etc but the only one that would even start and play was mpeg. On the other 2 I got a msg. "Bad data in AVI source file". Where could the problem be?
Thanks in Advance

Which player shows the error message? What are the other players saying? How many videos did you try?

Downloaded 4 different videos.
PC selected REAL PLAYER for two (2)AVI. This is where the messages about "Bad Data" came from.
QuickTime was used for MOV. Started briefly but quit . Said it encountered a problem and had to quit.
Real player used for MPEG. Played but LOUSEY IMAGE.

The videos might be broken but I don´t think so...

http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html

download Nimo`s codec pack and install it and then try it with your Windows Media player if it doens´t work post which message ou get. Btw Real player sucks and Quick time have problems with a lot of videos, its really the first time that microsoft has done a good job here.

Unhappy

MORGWEN,
Still having problems. I went to the site and downloaded the DVX v9 but when it completed it said that it could not trust a "Cabinet file" and would not continue. I tried it twice. I don't know what the problem is. There are a couple of things I downloaded previously, "DivX Player" and "DivX Movie". I don't know if these are helpful but I wanted to mention them.
Thanks
GaReb

Who said this, your player or XP?

Usually, if you have the right codecs, you only need one player to view videos. So this shouldn´t help...

Not sure who/what activated the message but I downloaded from the file you sent me and saved it to the Desktop. I then opened the DXWEBSETUP and it installed approx. 8 MB and at the end the error msg appeared and cancelled the install.

DXWEBSETUP??? The installer is called Nimo 5.0 build 9, are you sure you followed the link I posted? You don´t need to search on the right side you see a short description. And a line which says link click on Mirror 2...

http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html

Or try this one:

http://www.codec-download.com/module...download&cid=6

About the error message this is really crazy, what stands at the end of the proggie you tried to install? I mean cabinet files have .cab and are compressed files used by Microsoft.

Another way to get to NIMO is to click on the

Nimo Codecs link in my sig below...

or

http://nimo.titanesk.com/

Then, just click on 'Download'

I would very strongly suggest that you only Download Build 8...
Unless you are very aware of what you are doing, do not use Build 9...

Be sure to 'Save' the file and not 'Open' it...
You will want to have a copy of the Nimo installer so that you can run it again if you ever make any upgrades to Windows Media Player (Required).

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS carefully before you install...

Pay particular attention to the files:

TFM Audio Filter v1.0 beta 7
Morgan Multimedia Stream Switcher 0.95
G400 Filter
Bicubic Resizer Filter

It is 'best' to do the "Custom Install", select ALL Codecs and then MANUALLY deselect the above four files

Nimo is great and it is almost certain that you will be able to play just about anything...

Last tip... You may want to answer "Yes" to having a Desktop Icon...
And... There is nothing for you to do after you have run the install properly... Nothing for you to "Set Up" !

Have Fun...
