i have a 56k modem & it took me 4 days to download a 200MB file from your server & it didn't work!
The sound was awful & the picture froze!
It was ep 214, anyone else have a problem with that file?
After downloading for 4 days, needless to say i wasn't happy! :o(
It's not my fault... any number of problems could have arisen. First of all, I've never had my server online for more than two days at a time (and that's only over the weekend), so at some point the connection must have been lost then picked back up again. Second, these files are digital, the quality of the sound/video doesn't degrade; either it works or it doesn't. Third, I watch all of the files before adding them to the server and they all play just fine.
For the modemers: This summer when I go home and the server dies until the fall, I'll be burning VCDs (or data discs) of episodes for anyone know wants them. I'll have more info when the time comes.

Craig: I also noticed a problem with some of the files. I downloaded all of season one, and Episodes 102-105 all froze at different points (with loud audio beeps/pops) while viewing them with both Windows Media Player and WinDVD (moving the 'seek' bar to anywhere in the second half of those eps should demonstrate the problem). The other eps (101,106,107) played without problems.
If these files play correctly on your end, either 1) the files got corrupt when downloading (which seems highly unlikely - I use GetRight) or 2) a codec on my computer handles MPEG1 differently than a codec on yours (seems strange, but maybe).

I've been having the same damned problem. The thing is, that it is occurring on episodes that never had the problem before. I tried upgrading to Windows Media Player 7.1, which sucks, IMO, compared to 6 or whatever version I had before. I'm thinking that one of my CODECs is screwed up. I loathe to go in and try to remove and re-add them. Perhaps someone with a working setup could tell me (us) the version and file size of their CODECs.
I think I messed mine up by accidentally installing DIVx 3 over 4 or vice versa. I've notice the same problem, which is mostly sound dropping out for split second here and there along with being unable to play a video straight through. Also, apparently truncated videos that are find upon closing/opening the file.
I'll let y'all know if I find out which thing is the culprit.

it sounds like you have the wrong codec or maybe your pc is not fast enough to display DIVX files properly. Try using a program like virtualdub(asf ver) or tmpgenc to convert the file to a Indeo AVI or a VCD mpeg or something that else and it should play fine.

arnt the files sizes 128 meg or 256 meg only? so if you got a 200 meg file, then its not the right size "Bdsmsg" wrote in message news:[email]...

No, you are probably thinking of the streaming BIT rate which can be any multiple of 32 (or maybe 16?). With MP3's bit rates of 128kbps or 256kbps are common, but the files themselves are only about 5 megabytes. The file size will be dependant on the length of the video.
That would suck if every file had to be multiple of 128 megabytes. :)

it's 8 actually, it's in multiples of 8

Actually it's powers of 2. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128bit, etc

er, that's for processors and stuff... You're right, MP3s are in multiples of 8.
yeah, i was thinking in music terms but it may be diffrent for video "Craig" wrote in message news:HFJ78.126282$[email]...

We are talking kilobits (1024 bits) not bits. I have never seen a streaming media delivered in 8, 16, 24, or 36 kbits. I have seen 56kbit, so I guess they can probably do any multiple of 8 kbps, which is 1 kbyte per second. Looking through some of my mp3s, I find 48,56,64,96,112,128,144,160,192, 256. All of which are multiples of 16 except 56. Of course, now with variable bitrate they (apparently) use many more numbers within the song.
Hmm, maybe I should just say that I was wrong... Nah...

Get a high speed modem and quit your bitching, bitch. Craig does everyone a favor, and just b/c your a moron and your equipment is shit, you shouldn't be hassilng him.
