Ok, I have this avi file (episode 28 of Akage no Anne) that just wont play no matter what I do. When I try to play it, the first frame shows up alright, but then the cpu usage goes up to 100% and I have to shut down the mediaplayer (BSplayer, but I've tried them all, even VLC) via the task manager. After looking around on the net for a solution, it seemed like the way to go were to delete an entry in the registry that otherwise would cause explorer to freeze if the avi header was corrupt, and explorer couldn't find property info on the avi file.
However, this did not solve anything, and the properties for the file shows just fine anyway. Then I downloaded an application that shows what type of codecs a particular avi file uses, and if they're present on your computer. No problem there, according to this application the avi file used the same codecs as the 49 other episodes in the series I had downloaded (and which I can watch without problem)...
So I thought that maybe I could convert the avi file to another format and then back again,but that didn't work either. Apparently, the avi2something application I used did NOT think that I had the right codecs on my computer. It kept on telling me that I needed a decoder to decode this particular compressed avi file even though it had no problems working with the other episodes, that according to that codec-checking program, used the same codecs.
But the way I see it, all the information, all the frames and all the audio must be in that file, and there must be SOME program out here with the capability to re-build the entire avi file no matter what crazy codecs been used. Is there? Please tell me there is!
Oh, and yes, I have re-downloaded the file 3 times, but no success :(
