far Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hi All, Im using the above and am pretty new to this, when I have downloaded a torrent then used Azureus to download the movie it just wont play, I'm told it may be becuase it is still in a non winamp/media player format but have no clue how to change its format or what to do - can anyone help me out ? Cheers FaR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 What sort of file is it? avi, mpeg or what? Have you got the required Codec to play it? You can download GSpot Codec Information Appliance for free and it'll tell you whether you have the right codec to play the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Just to add, if it is a codec problem you can probably fix it by installing one of these codec packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
