Hi all,

I have the downloaded Star Wars EP2 files but cant seem to get them to run under any media program. Is there some program on the web that can tell me what codec was used to encode the movie? According to Windows XP, its encoded in MP3 which doesnt sound right.

Also once i've found out what its encoded in, what program should I use to watch with.

Thanks

Chris

P.S> Can I make this AVI into a VCD?

If its a proper avi format then Powerdvd software should play it.
If still having problems then download and install Divx codec 5(Divx Pro Bundle can be got from this site).......Hope that helps.

Also load the avi into Nero.....use the wizard and select vcd.......it will then re-encode and write out as vcd.

& don't use Nero to re-encode it to VCD, as it gives very poor results.
But the star wars ep II are all poor quality right now, so you don't even have to bother. (I don't like people using video cams in theatres lol *what's the point of getting the movie like that? just to say you have it?)

Chris, what you have downloaded is a DivX (AVI). To be able to play it on your computer you need the DivX Codec (5.02 is the latest) installed. Get if from our main site at www.cdrsoft.cc

To convert it to VCD just have a read in the Movies Tutorial section for a method. It will reatin as much quality of the AVI as possible. However, I would NOT recommend using Nero to encode anything, the results are quite poor.

ya too bad I find those centropy's to be junk. When I get one like that, I immediately return those to shop & give a blackeye to whomever is there if needed lol.
What is the point of selling a DVD if the quality of the image is not... but many people don't mind them =), & that's just a personal taste. lol
