Felix Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Try VLC player! That solves most problems.http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Try VLC media player. It seems to play a lot of stuff that Windows Media player has trouble with, although I think it might still have been skipping a freezing with Zoo Vid 33 (can't remember though).Edit: Felix beat me to it!

PaRtZ Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Sounds like a codec problem if you've upgraded to the latest version. But when you upgrade you should get the codecs with the player which is oddYeah try VLC ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Div-x codecs might sort it. I use Intervideo Win DVD player. No trouble opening anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanRs Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Ok, installed the latest codec from DivX 6.4 (i think) and using the Divx player its much much smoother, but the picture freezes up after about 20 sec of playback.. altho the audio is ok now..

RyanRs Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 bump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 No bumping within 24 hours. Don't worry i won't tell anyone if you won't. Hmm that is a strange one. Did you try downloading it again?How did you try it on all those different computers? Did you d/l the vid to every computer?Perhaps you could try ending some of your background proccess'.Ctrl+alt+delete. Click the 'processes' tab.'end process' on all processes except:any SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE ones.Otherwise your computer will shut down/ turn off and die. or just crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanRs Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 i used the same technique for each computer.. they are all of different specs too.. mine being the slowest @ 1ghz.. altho i do have 650+ mb of ram.. i got me bro to try it on his laptop, he using WMP10.. same prob.. me mums laptop -which is a new HP of a pretty good spec -same probs tried the divx on me mums too.. no success.. i think the video is encoded incorrectly, or its not 100% friendly with everyones computer specs as i have noticed on a few of me friends computers too that the Zoo vids dont play smoothly. sometimes you have to minimize it while it plays all the way through, then play it again for it to be smooth. iv tryed ending services too.. its not a memory or CPU prob.. Oh, i tryed puting it up on Youtube, on me private section to watch it. and youtube came up with an error saying the file is corrupt or someting (cannot rember what it said now!)

Krisboats Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Dunno if you've left the forum or even sorted it but downloading the All-in-one codec pack should sort it, fixed every one of my video problems when i had them a while back. Its on something like allcodecs.com or something but google it and you'll find it easy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
