i cant see the picture to the movie. Audio only
 

:confused: hello everyone, I downloaded two movies from limewire. I'm getting the audio but not the picture with it. Why? Can I fix this with out having to download again. How do I know if its an audio only file. movies with audio and no picture, whats the point?

Hey T, Sounds like a codec's prob. See Links below.

Have a look at the thread below for links to heaps of codec packs (some people like the XP codec pack for WMP & the K-lite pack's popular too).
CODECs list for Movies/Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers

That thread also has a link to VLC player. It's free, has codecs installed & is very reliable.

And here's a link for Vista codecs, just in case you're using Vista.
Vista Codec Package v4.4.8 (freeware).

Hope this helps. :D

thank you for replyin but..... codecs? this VLC player, does this fix the problem?

Yes, VLC Player has codecs built in. Is highly recommened on the Forums. And it's Free. :D

i'm so sorry but... after i download the software then wat? i have no idea wat im doing

OK Sorry I had to leave for a bit.

To make VLC your default media player; While in Limewire, click the library tab. Now Click explore (lower left corner) This will take you to your saved/shared folder outside of Limewire. Now Rt. click on any file. Go to Open With > Choose Program. Now click VLC. Put check in Always use this program...> OK.

To learn about VLC, go to the download site and look for instructions there. I don't use it so I can't offer any advise.

Hope this helps. :D
