|
|
I've been noticing lately that a lot of the non-music torrents I download will only have the background audio playing (noise, music, other sound effects, etc.). The main dialogue always seems to be missing. Mind you, it's not EVERY torrent that this happens to, but it's starting to happen much more frequently and it's really pissing me off, especially with a documentary about the Runaways I just loaded "Edgeplay". I really want to see this, but all I get is background, nothing from the main.
I have ffdshow loaded as my codec for viewing .avi files, and I even installed VLC as an alternate media player, hoping that might solve my problem. I've also updated to the latest & greatest software as far as ffdshow & VLC is concerned. Yet, this crap is still happening. Can anyone explain this to me or offer any insight?
Thanks! |

| Nope. They're all either perfect DVD-Rips (usually no larger than 700 MB) or a full working copy of the actual DVD. Someone @ another forum suggested I install the full K-lite codec pack instead of using ffdshow. I'll see if that works. |

| I don't have any first-hand experience, but I've heard that a lot of stuff is being encoded with a newer codec that is causing problems for some people and devices... |

Try looking for the audio properties in your player(s) & see if there are multiple soundtracks that you can select between. Also make sure that your audio settings for your computer itself are set properly for the speaker setup that you actually have....
If you haev a PS3 those files will play on there.....
Try a conversion program to covert it to DVD, you don't necesssarily have to burn it to DVD just watch the video TS files on the computer or burn to a rewritable & try it in a DVD player...
The K-lite codec pack won't hurt either.... |

| K-Lite didn't make any difference. |
