Watching downloads

[silverwol56]

Okay (once again), all my downloads are complete and I'm using theMedia Player Classic, and the CCC Project (pack), without changing any of the settings, but it still won't read!

Sorry to be a bother and thank you very much to anyone who is replying.

And If anyone is feeling generous enough to walk me through step by step what and how to download, you don't even know how much I would love you.

it's probably because it can't read the file format?
do you have a codec for the file you're trying to play? ^^

I downloaded everthing and whenever I try to open a vid. it it says "cannot render the file"

What should I do?

"Cannot render the file" could also be because the file is incomplete or corrupt. For example, if I download via torrents, and the file is at 98% (for example), that error will appear whenever the file is incomplete. You should assure that the file you have download is complete, and after verify that you have the codec required to read the video. If you don't like looking around, just download the CCCP Project codec pack which contains almost (if not all) the codecs you need with 2 video players (Media Player Classic and Zoom Player). You can't have better than that. It is easy to install, and you can install both or one of those players. In my case, I have both, but use only Media Player Classic.

Hope it will help you.

You could download VLC player. It plays allmost every file.... Cd's, mp3, avi, mpeg, DvD's and so on.... allmost everything you can think of.

It's free and easy to use. Plus the video quality is better than I've seen with even the best (windows) media players...

It's most probably a codec thing. Codec packs can be a solution, but you can also dl a program such as AviCodec, to find out what the actual codec is you need and then dl that seperately.

As said before. try vlc (www.videolan.org/vlc/). vlc got all codecs in the player and doesn't depend on the codecs you've installed. another program that might work is mplayer (www.mplayerhq.hu/)
