Howdy all!  I was just trying to watch an .avi movie on my dear old computer, see, but turns out I don't have the right codec or something, which is a little odd because I've played at least one other .avi file on my computer.  So, any help, maybe link to where I could find a codec, would be really appreciated!

                                                                    Thanks!
 
divx is an amazing codec. i have some 75MB files that would be 400 otherwise.
 
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!    
Sorry for that little outburst, but I'm so happy!      :laugh:   I downloaded Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door (a movie, based on the BEST anime series ever) a long time ago,   and after waiting so long,  I can FINALLY watch it!!!  Thank you so much!!!!  Aahhh....yes.........now I sorta wish I didn't delete that se:lain episode I downloaded so long ago.....but yay!!!!!!   Thanks a lot!!!!!
 
Hmm... I think I'll grab that movie after I finish with Harry Potter and LOTR.

Lain: That's a STRANGE series. In many ways, stranger than End of EVA. I recommend renting it or buying it.

Oh, in case anyone cares, I just bought the Rurouni Kenshin TV DVDs Part 1 & 2 (4 DVDs Each, subtitled in English & Chinese, audio in Japanese only). Hopefully it should be here anywhere from next monday, to the monday afterwards.

Sorry, I spent 20 dollars on that.
 
Yeah... Let's get this back to being tech related or I'll move it to SPAM tomorrow.

*Hopes his DVDs are Region 1 compatible.* I think they're region X, but I'm not sure.

* Wonders what sort of person doesn't have a regionless DVD player
 
i shouldda gone with the apex   :evil: i can only play region 1 dvds.
 
*also raises his hand*
mine also has a "Select your region" built in to it  :naughty:
 
*Raises one hand* My family one is region 1. However, we also have 1 APEX DVD player which belongs to my brother, 2 DVD-ROM drives (can prob be region hacked w/ software), 2 PS2s, which play DVDs, and 1 DVD-R Burner which can also act as a player.

Don't understand why anyone would (knowingly) not get a region-changable DVD player, given how easy it is, here anyway.

PS2's can be region-changed fairly easily, at least here in the UK there's a software hack for them you can buy in the shops ... DVD drives, most major ones can be firmware patched.
 
i dont have a region free one for a simple reason. its illegal here. i guess i could swap with my ps2....
 
My DVD-Rom drive can change it's region up to four times before it's permanently set to that region. And they say that changing computers, or wiping/reinstalling the OS won't allow you to change it. I think it changes something on one of the ROM chips... (CenDyne DVD CD-ROM, 16x DVD 40x CD Internal IDE, in Black!)

Darkness: Illegal?! That's f*&*ed up ... since when has importing videos from other countries been a crime?

Seph3d: It stores it in the firmware so yeah, it's part of the drive. Firmware patches fix that one, of course.
