Title: .avi codecs
Post by: Radical Edward on 2002-02-25 23:44:00: 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!

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.

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

Post by: Sephiroth 3D on 2002-03-01 22:31:00: *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.

Post by: ficedula on 2002-03-01 23:19:00: 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.

Post by: Sephiroth 3D on 2002-03-02 06:23:00: 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!)

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

Post by: Sephiroth 3D on 2002-03-03 06:06:00: Hehehe! My Kenshin DVDs came today! The subtitles aren't the best I've seen, and there's advertisements when there isn't any talking, but otherwise, it's a great DVD collection!

My 3D Glasses also came. Star Wars Podracer in true 3D is AWESOME! Too bad they screwed up with the shadows... I'm having a bit of a problem getting the glasses to run in Half-life, but I'm hoping I'll find the solution to that problem soon.
