DVD rips not working on new rig

[aXeR]

Hey guys, got another problem (this time its not overclok related)

i have some movies on this PC (my server) but my new PC doesnt like some of them, not quite sure what triggers the problem off.

If i disable my sound and pull out the sound card it works tho, ive tried 2 diff sound cards (PCI sonic fury and the onboard sound card on my P4C800-E Deluxe, this works neither wen my system is overclocked or running at default.

Any ideas why? its damn annoying as the TV out runs from my TV to the new PC not this one

So what happens when the sound cards are in.. Just no sound?? or no sound or picture?? Does it error?

What software you using to play back and what format they in?? DIVX XVID?

Rippin prob

Have you got the relevant codecs installed?

yup i got exactly the same codecs as on this computer here and correctly set up (ffshadow disabled) the first time i built the PC it came up with an error message the same as the one i was getting from winamp wen my PC was clocked too high, so i downclocked, this made no difference.

I then rebuilt windows, now wot happens is it opens it and then just closes it after about 1 or 2 seconds.

Is it possible that this new maxtor NTFS SATA HDD doesnt like the maxtor IDE fat 32 HDD that the films are stored ?

 

[Epicurus]

Humm.. I would have though that would not have been a problem..

What are you using to play the movies back in..

Have you tried moving the movie to the new HDD

Tried disabling the on-board sound in the bios and using a PCI soundcard?

Remove all your sound drivers too and re-install just the PCI ones.

could also try reinstalling Direct X

Also try using Virtual Dub and scan for errors

If there was a permissions issue you would actually benifit from it being FAT32

since FAT32 doesnt store / use SID's

now this is strange!

i ran gspot on the rip and it turns out there is a codec issue, i uninstalled all codecs and replaced them with the latest version of XViD, i then got picture but no sound at all, i ran a render on gspot and it told me there was some problem, as we talk im downloading videolan, this shud fix my problem i hope

 

[aXeR]

ive found the exact problem! it was the ac3 audio codec (think its used for surround sound on DVD rips) that was missing, ive downloaded it and everything works in media player again now

codecs

I'd only mentioned codecs cos I'd be screwed by them in the past - watched a DivX Bond movie with green patches all over it only days after it was perfect. Gspot must the the best named software EVER !!

Ms graph edit works quite nice too.

From there you can change the way any type of media opens which codec its uses etc, providing it uses direct show. I was using it a while ago to code different filtering effects onto my avi's in VB

 

[aXeR]

see i automatically ruled out the issue of codecs as i was using EXACTLY the same codecs as i do for this rig, it as only after i rebuilt the PC and played the movie without the sound card installed and saw it work, and then wen i put the soundcard in that i thought "aha! audio codecs!"

just a thought ...

would TV have caught on if it was such a pain is the ar$e to get working?
