I need a movie player that can paly NFS movie files(.mad )

[dcp15121980]

I have been searching the net for 2yrs for a program that could play nfs movie files (.mad file extension).So far i have not suXeded. All my searches are in vain. If any1 knows anything about this topic please post your comments here.

To me media player classic is the best it supports a wide range of formats

.aif .aifc .aiff .au .snd .wav .cda .ac3 .dts .vob .ifo .d2v .fli .flc .flic .ivf .mka .mkv .mid .midi .rmi .mp3 .mpa .mp2 .m1a .m2a .mpg .mpeg .mpe .m1v .m2v .mpv2 .mp2v .dat .ts .tp .tpr .pva .aac .mp4 .ogm .ogg .divx .vp6 .asx .m3u .pls .wvx .wax .wmx .mov .qt .ra .rm .ram .rmvb .rpm .rt .rp .smi .smil .roq .swf .smk .bik .avi .wma .wmv .wmp .wm .asf

These are the formats that are supported by the player if you have the codecs installed.

best thing is download ACE Mega CoDecS Pack it do come with Media Player Classic + a lot of other util that i hav not explored. Here is the download link

If u find other file format supporting player plz do post the download link.

Guys N Gals those of u read this remember my .mad file format.

MAD is a mad format

Well friend

I thought I should tell you, the MAD Files are a special format created by EA Sports. Perhaps, they might be a common video format with some extra stuff into it, may be extra comression or modified headers and all...

Thats why you couldn't find a player that supports MAD files. I'll recommend searching NFS or even for-that-matter any EA Game Fan Site. The Fans generally come up with such tools, from (un)likely sources.

I am in pursuit too, so if i find one will tell ya....

Try Rad Tools which consists of Bink and Smacker codecs/players/converters.The Bink and Smacker are the formats used by most of the games (0ver 2000 of them),try to open the files using Rad Tools.
Download it here:-

Thought might be of Interest...

Hi guys,

guess what,

the EA Guys changed their video format (for the NFS Series) from MAD to VP6. So, now you need to update your search criteria.

BTW, MAD or VP6 is not a regular video format, so RAD Game Tools wont be of much help....

Happy Surfing n Searching...

VP6 could be a public codec

Not tried this myself, but vp6 sounds like this codec : *www.on2.com/vp6.php3
from On2 Technologies

 

[techno_funky]

hey i found out that zoom player plays vp6 videos
after dloading the codec tht Mr.Sumod pointed to
still no solution
zoom player gives an error saying it cant play the files

wjatever you do do not download ACE Mega Codecs pack. First of all its huge in size (50Mb plus!) Second it does not play XVID and AC3 codecs well. It used to crash my media player all the time. Rather use the Klite codecs pack. Its much smaller in size (less than 10 megs) and its rather lightweight and easy to use.

 

[kinshuksunil]

KLite

Now, where do i find the KLite Codecs????

 

[alib_i]

*www.codec-download.com/

all u need is K-lite Codec pack and Nimo Codec Pack
thats quite all u need to play any file on earth .. just saying so

 

[kinshuksunil]

Files not playing

I downloaded the KLite Codecs and also the VP6 Codecs but still the media files aren't playing....

Do i need a special player for the .VP6???

 

[kinshuksunil]

Nemo or Nimo

Is it Nemo codec or Nimo codec????

 

[dcp15121980]

no problems with ace on my system it works fine

 

[alib_i]

sorry kinshuksunil
it Nimo Codec .. corrected the spelling above too
( im a bit too infatuated by nemo from 'finding nemo' )

 

[kinshuksunil]

Only VP6 Encoders

Well Guys,

I downloaded the VP6 Codecs from the on2 site, but they are only encoders and not decoders, so the vp6 files on my sys are still not playing

any idea, what to do next?

I just use VLC player and it plays almost anything for me, except real and quicktime media that is

 

[alib_i]

if you have Quick Time installed ..
then it will even play quicktime files ..
it did on my comp .. i was amazed to see that ..

VLC is the mother of all media players ..

 

[dcp15121980]

i dont think that will play roq files(the quake 3 vedio file format)

 

[alib_i]

cant say .. i dont have any ..
all demos i have are in .dm3 format ..
and of course they cannot be played in VLC

but VLC is no doubt the crudest player on this planet ..
it can play reall badly damaged avis too ..
