Video help!

[pez]

Call for help from my sister: Why can't she view her video files? She has installed the same codec packs as me, but she just can't see videos in Windows Media Player, Real One *or* DivX Player. Sometimes she gets the sounds, but no picture.

Please help!

I find, is that coders are going more and more overboard with using unstable codecs/formats when subbing/ripping

::nods vigorously::

That's my number one pet peeve as well. People are always using beta codecs to encode their files which is just insane. No guarantee that your audience will even be able to view the file once the stable release is out. -_-

They like to be at the cutting edge of technology...

Great... except not everybody has a speed demon of a processor, first of all... and honestly, the whole "hey, I'm using the latest gizmo" is getting *so old*.
