| Apex Advanced Techie  |  Windows Media Player problems Hi guys, lately i have been having a problem with movie files in windows media player. The movie, a large file about 300-700mb is showing only 5 minutes or 50 seconds of total play time, yet when i scroll the progress bar it jumps to the end of the movie and is all laggy for a few seconds. Similarly when i open the file in winamp the total time says 1hr...or actual playing time yet hte progress bar still goes for like 50 seconds. This has happened to multiple movies I have downloaded so im not sure if they all are just corrupt or if my player is having serious problems. Any help would be great. Thanks. | |

(Seems like my recent battle cry) More information please.... 1) What is the file type? .mpg, .avi, .wmv? 2) Did the final file size = the listed file size on the site? 3) When you play the movie, is the dialogue in synch w/the movie? 4) Usually if the download is a (heavy, uncontrolled outflow of water) file, what may have happened is that one of the middle segments was not downloaded correctly. 5) We cannot rule out encoding issues w/the movie, can you take it to another computer and have it play? If it does, then its your media player, if not, its your media. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Apex Tech Maniac  | Not that it'll put the world right but try playing it in a descent player. Videolan or media player will rule out an encoding issue / player issue just like that. Last edited by z0mbi3; 06-June-05 at 10:51 AM.. Reason: Sounded a bit harsh without the extra sentence. | |

| Light My Fire  | this sounds very much like a player issue, easiest way to find out, go download something like winamp, media player classic, theres a million of them, see if they all do the same thing, if they do, then you know for a fact that its a codec issue... basically what was said in the post before this one, but i didnt read until now... | |
