Cannot play AVI file
I'm having trouble playing this AVI. It doesn't play in Winamp, Media Player classic or MS Media Player. It seems I have the required codecs installed (or so GSpot v2.21 reports). What could be wrong here? Why doesn't it play? Any thoughts? Below are the details from GSpot.
---------------------------------------------
This is a valid AVI file.
The filesize is 374 MB (or 383,440 KB or 392,642,560 bytes).
Of that, roughly 333 MB (89%) is video data; the remaining 40.8 MB (11%) is audio. This file has 392 bytes of extra "garbage" at the end that is not part of the data yet is not marked as "junk" either. This is not usually a serious problem, however, and is unlikely to cause a problem.
---------------------------------------------
The following codecs should both capable of processing this format:
--> {Ligos Indeo® XP Video 5.2}
--> {Indeo® Video 5.2 Decompression Filter}
DirectShow is apparently able to play the file as well (see "DirectShow Render", below),
---------------------------------------------
Audio Format:
Code: PCM Audio
This audio is not compressed, or is compressed using a very simple method. As such, there is no 'codec' required to play it; all or the necessary software is already 'built in to' the O/S
The audio for this file should play fine.
---------------------------------------------
DirectShow partially succeeded to play file. The actual text of the error or warning is:
0x00040242: VFW_S_PARTIAL_RENDER - Some of the streams in this movie are in an unsupported format.
The following combination of filters were used:
{D:\Documenten en Sett..-..ezijnangstoverwon.avi} (Audio Source)
{AVI Splitter} (Audio Splitter)
{Default DirectSound Device} (Audio Renderer)
