[Juggalo]

That was OMGwtfPIE, Justice!!!


Burn'd to the max.


It was pretty funny, too.


I don't even know WTF your talking about, Billy.

Have fun!

[Justice]

Relax, dude, I'm not insulting you or anything.

I think AVI is something you can save to your harddrive (like DivX movies), whereas DVD you need a DVD player to pop it in.

lmao ok,

what im on about i need some one to tell me, whats the difference in Quality...
someone has actually just told me on msn.

[Justice]

Quality ...

Not sure, I think DVD's would offer better quality picture, but I've seen damn good quality DivX videos before.

DVD's have a higher quality, though DivX and AVI files can be damn near as close depending on the quality of the source, and the selection at the time it was saved.

[Karmashock]

divx can have equal or better quality... it can easily be just as good as DVD at half the size.

The biggest difference between teh two is that DVD is easy to decode and DIVX requires more processing power.

[Forsaken]

IIRC DVD is less quality than a true high quality uncompressed AVI file, because DVD's get compressed to hell. I know a dvd would only hold like 30 minutes of uncompressed AVI file when I was making a home movie.

I'm a nub about this stuff, but isn't DVD = mpeg3 format?

[Karmashock]

DVD is Mpeg 2
music is Mpeg 3
divx is Mpeg 4

[Morpheus]

The original AVI format is a Microsoft's Video for Windows standard. Now the .avi extension is used on pretty much every Mpeg-4(and even some others) compression method available, and most players are smart enough to figure out the format even if the extension doesn't match the compression. For practical reasons, AVI files can only be played on your PC, while DVD disks can be played in your stand-alone dvd player(although I've heard there are some DVD players that can play DivX files too).

And if I'm thinking correctly, I believe Mpeg-3 was designed to handle HDTV signals, the work on it was discontinued. You might be thinking of Mpeg-1 layer 3 format, comonly known as MP3 format for the music files. There are some other formats of music out there, too : MIDI and WAV were the two most common formats used for stand-alone sound.

ok now i have d/loaded the whole movie of Road Trip its a movie file, but it doesnt give me visual i can hear it but i cant see it.. is there like a programme i need to d/load to enjoy watching it?

[Shackled Phoenix]

That's 90% likely to be a codec problem. On the offchance you've actually got kazaa still (kazaa is eeeviiiillll) just do a software search for "ever codec imaginable" That's the package i use and i've yet to find one not included.

Otherwise i dunno any good places to find codec packs because that one's always worked for me.

[Cleary]

it had a codec error so i just d/loaded codec installed it and still not working

[Shackled Phoenix]

what codec did you Dload?

if you're on MSN right now, hit me up at "gryphonic_Angel@hotmail.com" or AIM at ShackledPheonix

[Lucid Angel]

DVD is Mpeg 2
music is Mpeg 3
divx is Mpeg 4

No, music is Mpeg 1 - layer 3

The MP3 codec has been around forever. Well before Mpeg 2.

There are some players that can play divx... but not many...

Also, there are some superior formats... mkv is the best so far... its higher compression then divx... though only slightly... slightly higher cpu usage too. Mkv is nice because the video file has most of the features of a DVD... multi audio tracks... subtitles...

I don't think so... I think its just audio.
==============================
billy,
download and install this
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ACE_Mega_CoDecS_Pack.htm

it has basically all the codecs... ever... and even a pretty good free player that you'd have to pay 30 dollars to get in any other program.


It's a big download, but its worth it. Install that and you'll not have to worry abotu codecs for a long long long time.

[Lucid Angel]

Does the author of that article even speak english?

[Lucid Angel]

mpeg is audio

What? Do you actually know what you're talking about Billy?
Mpeg is a codec. It can be used to encode audio or video.
eg. Mpeg 1 - layer 3 = MP3 used for audio files
or. Mpeg 4 which is a codec used to make audio and video files.

Thanks Justice for that link. :thumbup

[Cleary]

i actually am clueless to what you guys are on about im just happy it works.. i know mpeg-layer 3 was audio because its what it was when it wasnt workin

[Karmashock]

I know there is mpeg one, two, and four video... three goes some place...

[Justice]

Thanks Justice for that link.

Once again, consult Google instead of asking, "How does this work? I'm so fucking confuzzled!"

cheers, and

[Lucid Angel]

Hey i'm not clueless. I did look through google to make sure i was getting my facts right about mpeg 1 - layer 3

ps learn how to take a compliment. :P

[Justice]

No no no, that's not aimed at you.

I never said "Lucid Angel is an idiot." I'm just voicing this message to everybody in general who says, "Wait, what is this?" before consulting Google.

:P

Funny, I thought we were talking about the same thing.... Oh well, maybe it was some other Mpeg....

[JADezimar]

Ya I love road trip, now all I need to do is watch euro trip. :)

[Cleary]

euro trip!? is that like some sort of porno?

[JADezimar]

Its basically a "spin off" or the 2nd one. I do not know much more about it =/
That is how much I am led to believe. If it is a porno atleast my wife cant get mad, becuase I thought it was something else:P

[Cleary]
