Need some help on video codec

Unidentified SG

I downloaded a .mkv video file
When i play it , the audio was working perfectly all right
but the video was like play then hanged (skipped frame) the resume
resume after hanged will able to see green square around (pixel?) for awhile , play and hang , and the process repeats for the whole movie

Check some forums , they advise to use videoinspector to scan video file

okay , i done that and i got a detail tell me i need V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
i went around net to download it but cant find , anyway im not sure what is it also

so how should i go about do it ? Thx

Tried the open-source VLC Media Player already?

Unidentified SG

what do you mean by open source ?

well , i played that 2.39gb mkv vid using VLC player , works but only with the video prob

For most people, open source means free of charge without technical support. For the developers, it means the code behind the program is released and anyone can do whatever they want with it as long it complies with the license it is bound with.

Hmm...I have only installed the CCCP vid codec for my own use, and since then I can play 99% of the vids I have downloaded, so I can't really comment much. Just don't go around downloading codecs as many of them are chucked with malware. Wait for the experts in codecs to reply ba. They should be coming in any time soon. Wink

uninstall all the codec that you have, and use either CCCP or k lite

and try not to install too many player also, because it can also have conflict also

try opening the file with MPC player, vlc is known to have problem, it is a over rated player, even gom player is better than vlc

if the video is corrupted, then you can't even open the file at all, next time, just use g spot to test the video

ok , i give it a try and i tell you if it works

anyway the mkv vid i downloaded youtube also have
but only 2 part , the opening and ending part are missing

you can check the video out : roving mars (part 1 , part 2)

ok , downloaded and tried

now is the whole video working too slow (sorry i dont know how to explain in tech terms)

the video and audio are slow , the play pause play pause kind , shd i say the video frame is too slow , anyway to fix it ?

Unidentified SG

the file that you have downloaded, might been corrupted, usually the problem i encounter with mkv file is, the timing isn’t set properly…

Unidentified SG

erm you mean the sound doesnt match the video ?

my problem was vid and sound match , but the playing is like play pause play pause like that , or do i call it lag

it is worst before but i increase frame so now is better , but still a little choppy (not sure if choppy is the right word to describe)

i now trying to see if the video can work smoothly

Do you have core avc?

i think CCCP should have core avc ah, i think your decoder has issue ah, use core avc and see whether it can solve your problem or not

if CCCP don't have core avc, then download k lite, and it will have core avc in it

allentyb_v2.01 SG

no, not the sound, the timing, which is the subtitles, check whether you have core avc or not, maybe it will improve ah, if cannot, then i also don't know what is wrong with your video already

Unidentified SG

oh man , cant find that core avc thing

can someone post the direct link ?

or tell me the actual webby

allentyb_v2.01 SG

no need de, just download k lite mega codec pack will do, inside the codec pack, will have core avc
