Video DVD Playback

[chriss]

Hey guys,

i know these kind of questions are usually hard to answer but i give it a shot:

I had problems playing DVD's and i got it fixed by installing windvd

but now all the video snaps (flv and avi) take 1-2 seconds to load! before that they were showing up instantly... re-installing the vista codec pack didn't solve it, even uninstalling windvd didnt help.

i would rather not have dvd playback but let the video snaps show up instantly..

update: avi works fine, only flv have a delay...

[chriss]

oh man i can't believe this... i just wasted three hours trying to find out why flv's take so long to load inside gameex

i'm going to bed now, this is really frustrating!

[chriss]

sorry to bump this thread i'm just desperated since i want to switch completely to emumovies flv collections and with the delay it makes it almost unusable

is anybody using flv videos within gameex over here? do you guys have a delay?

since my cpu is 2,4 ghz dual core i doubt this has something to do with my cpu power...

[Tempest]

Since you are desperate, try renaming one of the flv's to a Avi extension, and see what happens.

I think that if it works better, then it's a codec issue.

I really don't know what the hell I'm saying.

Already drinking before noon?!

Believe it or not, drinking makes me smarter. At least I think it does, I'm not sure what the people around me think.

I just remembered in the past that some people were switching the extension on their Flv's for some reason, I thought maybe it was worth a shot since Chriss was begging...

[bkenobi]

I do remember that there were some files that weren't accessible in GameEx even though they were supported. Changing their extension to .avi was a solution that did work, but I don't recall what codec that was a fix for. Perhaps it was .flv!

[Tempest]

I'm fairly sure of it. I wonder what chriss is up to...

i was partying at my friends house for the weekend, will be back tomorrow.

sounds like this could fix the issue lets see... does anyone have a favorite mass renamer over here?

[Tempest]

Maybe This?

Or did you want something specifically for DVDs?

[chriss]

hey tempest i just tried out your suggestion, unfortunately this didnt resolve it.... going from game to game still takes 3-4sec to load the video even with an avi ending (real avi's shows up instantly)

My favorite for years is Bulk Rename Utility. Now with 64 bit version too.
