Brotherhood of The Wolf and Office Space in WMP9

More info needed

Hi there,

Can you be a little more explicit ?

a) open the files in GSpot (not hard to find, just give this word to google

) and post what information this brings up

b) what codecs do you have installed ?

Hello ...

Glad you like G-spot. Maybe it would have been easier for you if you would have posted the screenshots

Ok, let's see how we can tackle this problem.

I guess this sould be the most ideal sequence of actions to get rid of your problem.
[list=1][*]Remove the Nimo-codec pack. I don't know everyhting but i've been browsing through some forums and everybody was picking on that pack. They say it contains a lot of bugs.[*]Get the Tsunami Codec Pack 3.9.9 (full version). It is available at http://www.atlandide.net/~uncasms/ or KaZaa.[*]Install Tsunami Codec Pack 3.9.9 custom install.[*]Deselect everything (one option cannot be deselected, don't mind that

)[*]Select Codec Sniper[*]Complete the install (e.g. press next a few times

)[*]Run Codec Sniper and remove every codec containing the word DivX[*]Rerun Tsunami codec pack (choose modify this time)[*]Choose all DivX Codecs (except for 5.02 as you should not use them together with 5.03)[*]Complete this install[*]Try to play the files and post your findings here[/list=1]

hi !

i have the same kind of problem than the original poster:

i used GSpot, who tells me i have the codecs needed to run my file. when i try rendering, tho, it fails, and the error code is the one the original poster gave.

i tried your method (using tsunami etc) but it still doesn't work. any other idea ? any need of further info ? let me know

**UncasMS** · 25 Sep 2003, 03:53 AM

the link to tsunami 3.9.9 does not work anymore because my url has changed a little.

https://uncas.atlandide.net

i recommend FFDSHOW alpha latest version

i found tsunami, but it didn't work. i tried with ffdshow too, and the problem is the same. GSpot says it should work, but rendering doesn't, and i get the 0x80040111:[unknown] thing.

To DarkMoor

If your "problem" file is one that you've downloaded, it's most probably a fake file...

**DarkMoor** · 25 Sep 2003, 10:09 AM

i've thought about that too. but in GSpot, the file is recognized as a "valid" AVI file. i dl'ed it on eMule, and iirc, many people had the file, so i think it is not a fake. but i can't be sure, of course ^^

thanks for the quick feedback guys, i really appreciate it

and i also hope you have some more ideas

**DarkMoor** · 28 Sep 2003, 08:35 AM

sorry to double post. anyone else with a suggestion ?

"i dl'ed it on eMule, and iirc, many people had the file, so i think it is not a fake."

Postings regarding videos obtained in that fashion should be made ONLY in the "P2P" sub-forum here (if at all - Please read the relevant rules)...

**DarkMoor** · 28 Sep 2003, 08:53 PM

i'm sorry, i made a research on the board, and found this topic to be relevant with my problem, so i posted here.
i apologize if it wasn't appropriated.

**shiny#3** · 28 Sep 2003, 09:31 PM

In addition to that I would recommend also that you use the small
tsunami filterpack 3.9.6 ... also available at the site of Uncas...
it will install the FFdshow codec as well.....
for Divx decoding I would still recommend the gainbundle of Divx 5.1 pro....... make sure that you tell ffdshow not to decode divx movies...... and I forgot.... remove the big tsunami filterpack before you install the small one.....

as a very good player I recommend the freeware tool BS Player
wich can be obtained at softwaresection of www.divx-digest.com

It's a compatibility problem, due to some version of Windows Xp Pro (especially if the service pack 1 is installed). Probably in the future many users will get into this error.

I've found that the problem seems to arise as a consequence to codec conflicts, in particular between 16bit and 32bit codec.
At http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q141801 there is:
"
The following 16-bit audio codecs are installed by the run-time versions of Microsoft Video for Windows, Microsoft Windows Sound System, and many other Microsoft multimedia programs:
- Microsoft ADPCM
- Microsoft IMA ADPCM
- DSP Group Truespeech Software
"

I've killed these codecs with Codec Sniper, and now every player seems to be able to play any video file without any problem.

However, it's interesting that while Windows Media Player and other similar software (BSplayer, Viplay,...) were unable to play some avi, the Divx Player (which comes with the original divx codec pack) could, even if with some errors and collateral problems. Why? I think all the most common players use the basic directshow commands, which exactly are the responsible of the compatibily error. Somehow, the Divx Player uses different algorithms.
