Technical Difficulties

The weirdest shit is happening with my avi files... I saved a bunch of old vids to a flash drive way back when. They played just fine on my old computer. But I tried to watch them again just recently and only the audio associated with the files will play. What's that about? :* Is there something wrong with my computer or something wrong with

I hope you find out, because the same thing has happened to me. I wish I could offer help, but I've got nothing.

[nevcolleil]

Thanks anyway :) I ended up just reuploading what vids I could. I downloaded a codec, but it didn't help.

[twinsarein]

That's a shame. I'm sorry you couldn't get them all back. I wound up buying the vids I really wanted so I could continue to watch them. Ah well, I probably should have done that in the first place.

[nevcolleil]

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll have to try that.

It sounds like some sort of codec issue, I say as if I knew what I was talking about.

[nevcolleil]

:p Hee hee. Thanks. I downloaded a new codec reader/player/whatever. It didn't help with this particular issue, but it's something I'd needed to do anyway.

Are you watching them with VLC?

[nevcolleil]

*reveals ignorance*

VLC? :p

Oh--your layout is weird. Can't see what I'm typing!

Download, it will play basically any movie file format you can find. :) Godsend.

Crap - I hadn't realized. I usually read/respond to comments on my phone, so I hadn't yet seen my layout in action. That's what I get for fiddling with my own layout code, I suppose :p I'll have to see if I can fix that.

In any case, thanks for the link! Maybe that'll do the trick...
