Dowloaded Divx....yet no sound

TheeeGod 3 · 30th April 2002, 04:47

i downloaded an avi but when i try to play it back i hear no sound. it is not my computer as other divx files play properly. when i check the properties tab, it says that the audio is there. i have the latest divx 5.0 installed. when i try to open it with media player it says trying to download codec and then error downloading codec. yet it still plays the movie; it just has no sound. can anyone tell me what codec the player might be trying to download and from where? and how can i hear the sound on the avi? thanks for your time

It's propably DivX ;-) Audio. Install the Divx3-pack and you'll get the audio.

i downloaded divx 3.11 alpha, installed it, and overwrote the file in the system directory. still no success. i still cant hear the sound and the player still says "trying to download codec". any other suggestions?

Load the file in Vdub and check the file properties and post them here. It may be divx 5.01 which I believe the divx 5.0 codec can't play. You might need this codec.

did just that and decompressor is Divx Mpeg 4 Low Motion

*Edit* - i also noticed that instead of instead of 2 channels it has 5(stereo) channels and for audio compression it says: Unknown (tag 2000).

Sounds like AC3 audio to me. Grab the ac3 filter pack from the download page and that should solve the problem.
