Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites nacmacfeegle 0 #2 March 18, 2004 Get quicktime http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ Microsoft media player http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/gettingstarted/download/download.asp and Real player http://uk.real.com/index.html?lang=en&loc=gb Google for the above for Aussie local sites, may help download time. Some movies are Divx encoded http://www.divx.com/ That should cover most of them.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites devcloud 0 #7 March 18, 2004 QuoteOk.....Im at a loss, what is CODEC? Online video clips are encoded in such a way that ideally you get the best quality for your clip whilst being the smallest in file size. Constantly newer methods of encoding the video clips are being developed, and so for everyone else to watch these clips they need to be decoded. A Codec is a decoder for a certain video file. So a Codec pack is a bunch of different codecs giving you a better chance of actually having the right one you need for the particular video clip you've downloaded I personally have alway found the K-lite codec pack to be very good (up to date) as stated above.
