movies (mov files)
 

I have some mov files which I cannot play, I hear sound but I don't see any visuals. when playing them with windvd as well as bsplayer as media player 10. I have 'the codecs' installed latest version.
can someone help me?

is it impossible to play these with wmp?

(vote+1 for dumbest thread by an intellectual in two years)

use "convert mov" in google.... lot's of software available out there

:)

Nope, certain older .MOV files use a codec which is not public, thereby there was never a plugin for WMP.
I suggest to use "Media Player Classic" (google it) , it plays everything WMP does, but better, and also plays .MOV and .RM (realplayer)

here's a similar thread to yours : http://forums.3ivx.com/cgi-bin/ikonb...m=11&topic=145

btw, this is not a dumb thread, there can only be dumb replies:)

On my fathers laptop there's a plugin there plays .mov files in WMP.

Dunno the name, have to search it.

maybe click the link I posted? 3ivx plays the recent .MOV files; on older ones which you another codec it only plays the sound.

thanx y'all.

I have the same problem on that setup with wmv files...

could you possibly need quicktime for those too?

WMV stands for Windows Media Audio/Video File

it will work with Windows Media Player without issue;

weird...
very very weird...
i'll get back at this this weekend

you probably don't have the mediaplayer 9 or 10 codec.

Re: movies (mov files)
 

well the files are wmv files, playing them with as well windows media player 9 as 10, playing them with bsplayer, playing them with windvd generates same problem.
the sound is there, the visuals are absent.
mpeg files play perfectly

VideoLAN is also a very good player, but i prefer BSplayer .

well...problem solved and the solution is very easy but also very confusing.

I have ati catalyst center installed and 4.10 cats...
apparently when installing ati catalyst it changed the settings for video playback for some files to contrast 0%. thus eliminating any visuals...
the movie was playing, it was just not visible.

allow me to so, bwahahah ;)

:)
and that got me to install and reinstall about a ton of codecs and players.
I am specialized in NON-problems :)

But it's not a problem you think instantly of.

who sets contrast to 0% ?

prolly fault in driver, don't think that calantak is so dumb.
