PAL/NTSC Question

[5ayle]

I just downloaded a movie... it's an HK movie and not yet licensed in the US... anyhow it's format is PAL how do i make it play?

It just hangs after the first second the sound comes through but nothing when it comes to video.

windows media player isn't biased to PAL/NTSC, infact I don't think there is a PAL/NTSC for encoded movies... download BS Player or The Core Media Player, ssee if one of those plays it.

I tried BSPlayer and Quicktime but same effect... I'm beginning to suspect the file maybe corrupt...
That would suck since i've been dl this for like a week

 

[fumbduck]

what movie is it?

Internal Affairs (1 or 2) ?

2002?


I enjoy watching foreign films probably more than domestic, though I like european and brazilian movies the best.

Those 3 I listed happen to be 3 HK movies I have seen.

Jet Li's Hitman

Just tried Core Player

No worky

well bummer, it should be in the US pretty soon though since it is a Jet Li flick, unless it is really old, or really unknown.

I figured that most torrents files were confirmed but guess not

 

[5ayle]

I think it was filmed in 1998... sounds good X(

maybe there is a problem with your codecs, is it divx/xvid? or is it ogm?

 

[5ayle]

the properties tells me it's Divx 5.0
dunno what ogm is...

I have dl'ed klites codec pack and nemo's pack

 

[fumbduck]

uninstall all codecs and codec packs, then go wo www.divx.com and get the free codec for the latest divx, 5.xx or whatever.

WOWOW!!! I love You!!!

and get divx3.11, its needed for some old ripps since divx5 cant play them properly

and then get xvid... and yeah thats the only thing you should need

 

[5ayle]

I will never download unofficial codecs again

I take it you got it working?

 

[fumbduck]

and Nimo is bad news, as are most codec packs...

The only ones i use are Divx 5(from divx), Xvid_install(from somewhere), and Cole2k (google for cole2k) for ogm/mkv (deselect the xvid and divx options)
