[H] audio codec not working
I downloaded a bit torrent TV show that is DivX AC32. When I tried to play it I had audio, but no video. So I installed the latest DivX codec 1.1.0-30 and then had video, but now I lost the audio. OK, I installed Divx Player 6.1 in the hopes it would sort things out. But still no audio. However, it gave me this message The file contains a track in the Dolby AC3 Audio (code "8192") format. You may need to install a DirectShow decoder for this audio format in order to hear the soundtrack of the file I went looking for directshow decoder and found a free codec = GPL MPEG 1/2 DirectShow Decoder Filter 8.1.2 but that didn't work either. How can I make this work. All I really want to do is getting it working so I can encode it in to a standard DVD mpeg-2 file. thanks
Re: [H] audio codec not working
On rare occasion I have had to play them on the VLC Player (http://www.vlc.com) which is freeware and plays a lot of things that Media Player will not. I have then used NeroVision Express to burn to DVD and it worked fine. I don't know what the exception is here other than they pop up once in awhile. I'm certain other on the list will have the technical reason. Jeff I downloaded a bit torrent TV show that is DivX AC32. When I tried to play it I had audio, but no video.

[H] Best Home Wireless router?
Been using a Linksys WRT-54G, was wondering what the collective thought was best these days for a home router, Linksys? D-Link? Netgear? others? Do any of them have real SPI built-in these days? BTW, by "best" I mean fast and reliable. I went thru a couple Linksys and a D-Link in a couple years, so reliable is probably number one. But don't know if it's reasonable to expect a 49 dollar consumer-grade router to be super-reliable. :) -- JRS<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please remove **X** to reply... ...Cleverly Disguised As A Responsible Adult...

I've had my wrt54gs with first the linksys firmware then sveasoft and will give dd-wrt a try when I get a chance, but I bought it when it first came out - what's that - at least 3 years, apart from updating the firmware it has never been down or off and it pretty cover my whole house front porch, back deck, i would recomend it, i think their current comparable model is the L designation On 9/12/06, JRS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Been using a Linksys WRT-54G, was wondering what the collective thought was best these days for a home router, Linksys?

Re: [H] Torrent Client
utorrent is the best client. Azureus is good beccause of the plugins, but other than that utorrent is much more lighter on the resources. The trick to any torrent based download is the configuration of the router/firewall, torrent client and the computer itself. It's all very confusing at first, but if you need help drop me a line and I can help you configure everything. By the way, the router/firewall config is the one people don't do properly and that really screws up the download by giving you slow speeds. I am right now on vacation in ireland and the place where I am staying at has 8 Mb DSL. Maxing out that connection is a piece of cake if properly configured. Cheerz!!! BTW, Ireland is very very very beautiful --- joeuser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am using abc but looks like I'll have to give > utorrent a try. > > Thane Sherrington wrote: > > > At 05:16 PM 30/08/2006, Winterlight wrote: > > > >> UTorrent is auto update, it asks you, of course, > but it is almost > >> instant after you give approval.

Re: [H] Re: Best Home Wireless router?
I got a really good deal on a 3Com officeconnect gateway (i.e. DSL Modem with Router) and I really like it so far. It does not have all the 3rd party firmwares like the linksys, but it does the job really well. --- j m g <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've had my wrt54gs with first the linksys firmware > then sveasoft and > will give dd-wrt a try when I get a chance, but I > bought it when it > first came out - what's that - at least 3 years, > apart from updating > the firmware it has never been down or off and it > pretty cover my > whole house front porch, back deck, i would recomend > it, i think their > current comparable model is the L designation > > On 9/12/06, JRS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Been using a Linksys WRT-54G, was wondering what > the collective thought was > > best these days for a home router, Linksys? > D-Link?

[H] Tivo Series 3 High Def
Have you guys seen these? You'd have to be a real couch potato to shell out $800 for one. I got tempted when they said I could trade in the lifetime sub on my series 1 for a lifetime sub on a series 3 HD for $200. But that "extra" $800 kicked my butt.
