"Playing movies"

Right, ive downloaded the latest codec pack from the microsoft website as well as numerous other codecs that ive found from google including xvid, but i still cant get a bunch of files to play (black screen no audio), is there a program out there that has loads of integrated codecs that i dont know about?

I love the little donkey image they use. I suggested on their forums that they should make a plush toy of it, i got laughed at.

eMule forever.

Even better.

Use BitTorrent or IRC.

Message me on MSN if you want some info Cookie, because I think my membership would be in vain if I mentioned a few sites that allow you to retreive illegal stuff.

If i were you i would move away from p2p and go for the newsgroups using Grabit.

It was from kazaa yes, the other day i downloaded what i thought was riddick, only to be presented with the theatrical trailer at a ridiculously high bitrate.

That happened to me once. Took ages to download what I thought was a 'full movie', only to find it was a black screen and the soundtrack to something completely different to what it was meant to be.

I no longer use Kazaa either. I mainly use Limewire and BitTorrent.

How good is Shareaza these days? I had problems with it last time I used it.

Blank file I am affraid to say. Look at the bitrate at only 14Kb/s as well as no audio. I bet its a file downloaded off p2p that was labelled as a new movie out in the cinema or something? Because in my time I have had 2 that are like this. Best thing to do is get yourself off Kazaa and other crap like that as they are just full of fake files. I actually use to love Kazaa and be on there all the time, but its been over 2 years since I last used it.

They do play, as in you can open them up in WMP and move the slider to various times, but the screen remains blank with no audio.

AVI Preview allows viewing of damaged video files. Could try that.
