I'm sure someone knows... I DL'ed two torrents off of utorrent. Season 1 and 2 of The Big Bang Theory. Season 2 plays fine but S1 just says "acquiring codec"... How the fuck do I make it play or how do I distinguish which codec I need to get my hands on? Thanks. Probably a silly question to some of you  |

Get the VLC player.... it can play just about any kind of video whether you have a compatible codec or not. So with it there's no need to download big codec packs. Pretty easy to use too, and doesn't have 4000 fancy options that only supergeeks know what they do. haha www.videolan.org/vlc/ |

Hehe... yeah VLC is amazing, easy to use, has some decent options like making loading subtitle files and switching audio streams easy, and plays almost everything without needing codecs. It can often play incomplete videos too, like say you're downloading a movie torrent and you're not sure if you're downloading the right one... you're like halfway done or whatever... you can play the incomplete video file with VLC to see if it's what you think it is... might play in fragments or only play a few minutes depending on how it's downloading (most download programs get files in fragmented chunks rather than from beginning to end) but it's often enough to say "Hey this isn't (insert video name here)!" then you can cancel the download and not waste time. ;-)

AVI file usually require DivX codec MKV file require Matroska codec So a good codec pack for both is: Combine community Codec pack www.cccp-project.net/ |
