Ggrraaaaarrrrgghhh!!!!
on: April 16, 2004, 09:12:54 pm
Of the various junk I've tried to get to play Equilibrium, nothing works.

Well, except for the DivX player.

WinAmp jitters, HiNet de-syncs, WMP is just ****e.

DivX runs everything perfectly, except the goddamn volume it too goddamn low. I can barely hear it over the whirr of the laptop's fan.

Any ideas?

Does your laptop have a spot where you could hook up external speakers?

Yeah, but can only find 1 speaker and it's not the powered one.

On the desktop I had the sound going from the out-port on the computer, into the mic of a bay-mounted speaker thingy which ramped the volume, then out of that and into the speaker.

But I can't do that with the laptop.

It doesn't matter now anyway, everything is throwing a fit when I try to play it.

Just once I'd like a computer that can do the most remedial of tasks without ****ing self-destructing.

The laptop won't even play MP3's right anymore. They're all jittery and ****.

****ing piece of junk.

Jittery? How exactly does it sound? I had to fix a problem like that for a friend recently, I just needed to rip out and re-install all the sound drivers. It was an integrated sound card... ergh, I had integrated stuff. :shaking:

an0n it's not DivX it's probably the ac3 codec.

For starters, ditch the mediaplayer that comes with win2k - and look for mplayer2 in the windows mediaplayer folder.

Start that.

Now, right-click on the film and you have a nice option: properties, select the tab where all the codecs/filters used are present - select the ac3 codec. Raise the volume, voila.

BTW, download the Matroska pack - it will play ANYTHING (it uses the fddshow filter, that can decode anything from Xvid, to MPEG4 and it can open  both the ogm and the mkv container formats).

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Sandwich as far as I  know it's the same as the one I suggested...

You don't have to download it.

No, it isn't. You suggested the (fairly decent) Microsoft Media Player 6.4 (mplayer2.exe). I suggested the non-MS Media Player Classic, built for those people who want modern functionality in a media player that isn't as sucky as Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe), and yet has the same feel as the old MS Media Player 6.4. :) Download it - it rocks.
