wat format is the movie file?

any codec pack installed?

install K-Lite Codec pack & see if that solves the problm.

play it in VLC Player *www.videolan.org/ , if this doesn't work then most probably anything else won't

[spikygv]

a free solution perhaps . .

and i observed that sometimes ( very rarely ) , winamp while playing gives a pause of less than a second and continues... anything related..

It solved my problem . thanks a lot !!

 

[ashfame]

gud bt i found no logic behind dis!

 

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

K-lite codec pack is the best collection of codecs , VLC has codecs bundled with it but that's not the case with other media players so u need to install codecs(through K-Lite or by hand) n then all players will be able to play the files .

arre dude!
i mean, if da video was playin fine n audio was nt.
den it must hav been sum prob wid audio codecs!
kk
n generally only very popular codecs like mp3 are used for audio, den y da matter was solved with installation of codec pack!
was there any conflict among codecs also?

 

[Quiz_Master]

Yes there can be conflicts between audio codecs (AFAIK) but K-Lite pack repair registry at installation time so any broken codecs are also fixed.

yups .

@ashfame , n it's not necessary that popular codecs r only used to encode audio , also , file might be wrongly encoded and the default decoder might not be able to decode it correctly

nyways k-Lite pack will solve 99% of the problems n this is one of the first apps i install after a fresh installation of OS .

 

[spikygv]

yes . the prob got solved but still powerdvd crashes once i enter into it.

 

[spikygv]

thanks doods . power dvd got corrected . i got 7 and done, no probs.
