I downloaded Las Vegas Season 1 off of bittorrent using azureus. The files are in "video file" format. Im not sure what that is, anyway, Windows Media wont play the files, and when I play them with VLC media player it works for 3 minutes than pauses like it skipped. Anyone know what the problem is???? Fanks.
With gspot you could analyze the file in order to determin the codec(s) needed for playing the video file.And then install the missing codec(s) if needed. Another open source player is the core media player nice app... Or maybe the file is corrupted in that case there is not much you can do about it....
Try downloading the k-lite codec pack, its one of the best ones on the net that i know of, should contain all of the most popular codecs to date. http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Windows/Edskes/k/klmcodec125.exe
