Need help with divxs....downloaded.

[Joe2683]

I downloaded a two set divx of a home movie of a friend and they don't work all they do is show a black screen and no sound. They were put together about 450 megs and I don't want to have to download them again, not with my dial up connection. Is there anything I have to do special to view them, I have tried a lot of things. I downloaded the divx codecs, I used several diffrent programs (Media Player, the Playa, etc.), I renamed the file, but nothing works. Please Help!

talking about piracy over a public forum is probably not the best idea.

 

[thomsbrain]

he said it was a home movie. give him a break. divx is a perfectly acceptable topic on these forums.

are you sure the files are complete? divx won't play unless they're complete

 

[Joe2683]

I am positive it is complete, do I have to put them together or sumthing?

maybe you're not using the right codec, try some of the ones at divx-digest, i'd try smr first, but that would mean you're not really dling home movies :Q

Ask ur friend which CODEC did he used to convert. Most likely in circulations are 2 codecs, DivX3.11 and SMR. re-install both (doesn't hurt).

Also, download DIVFIX.EXE
it fixes broken divX movies. Any thing intresting in those home videos? Give me a shout, running out of things to download of the net.
