OT: Video Codecs

[Aegis!]

OK I´ve recently downloaded Ragnarok the animation and Tenjho Tenge (raws) and as I started watching them I got this pixelated green screen in my media player , I´ve got Nimo Codec pack´s latest version but I still get this green ¨filter¨ on top of the video.

Is this a problem of the file themselves or do I new another codecs ? they´re AVI files BTW.

Some time ago someone posted a link to a site where you could diagnose step by step what specific codec you needed based on the problems you had ; alas , I could find that site anywhere but I remeber it was quite helpful.

Someone please help me on this , any tip is much appreciated.

Cheers.

Well of course nimo would break it. It install too many junk.

Remove it, then install ffdshow alpha 05-23-2003

Or if you really need things like AC3 & MKV, install Defiler pack:

I'd get defiler pack, and play everything with Zoom player. The G spot program is good too for figuring out what kind of codec you need. Defiler pack and Zoom player really saved me a lot of time recently with all the new codecs out there.

Wow, thanks for the links, I was about to hunt for an .ogg codec today.

Follow this link for a codec pack that will take care of everything: http://anime-xtreme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=652

After I installed that pack, I had no problems with any formats. The forums on anime-xtreme are also pretty good for sorting out specific problems.

Also, I recommend downloading Media Player Classic. It's handles everything including real player files. It might be included in the above pack but I don't remember. If not, you should be able to search for it through google.

I´m gonna try those out.

All this codec thingy seems like what happens viruses and bacterium, when you think you´ve got a cure for them you need a new vaccine.

Downloaded the defiler pack and the zoom player. Damn. Quick, stable, and minimalistic. Awesome. Now to add real and quicktime alternatives, so I only need the one program for videos. I still like winamp for MP3's though.
