Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Managed to get my hands on the full season 1 of the sopranos but when i went to play them there was no sound then i got a pop up saying that quicktime was missing software but it didn't say what, never happened before anyone had the same problem and solved it. TIA I'm on a Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35610 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Try downloading DivX player and opening them through that. Or download the latest DivX player, install it and then try again through Quicktime as it might update the codecs or whatever the hell they call them. When I've had this bother in the past DivX has saved the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6321 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 DivX usually saves the day with media files on a PC. Haven't used a mac myself so couldn't vouch for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikko 20 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Generally when an .avi has no sound or picture its a codec problem, www.free-codecs.com should have the solution, it certainly does for a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckypierre 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 not sure if it works with Macs, though theres probably an equivalent, but if you download GSpot it'll tell you exactly what codec you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried installing every codec i can get my hands on and still no joy, two days of downloading wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckypierre 0 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) this'll tell you what codec it is... if you have VLC media player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html Open the file in VLC. Pause the movie if you like. Open the Info window (Cmd-I). There should be listed ‘Stream 0′ and ‘Stream 1′ with little triangles. Press the triangles to get more detailed information.

Jimbo 133 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Try downloading this, its media player classic. I had exactly the same problem, I downloaded Season 1 of The Shield and I couldn't get any sound, I tried Dvix and all the rest but couldn't get any joy until I tried this: Clicky here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
