How To Use This List

If at any time during this guide your file begins to play, stop following the guide since nothing more needs to be done

0) Make sure the file you have downloaded from BitTorrent is complete and not corrupted. To do this click the torrent link again, and save over the file (don't worry it will not delete it). BitTorrent will then go and check if the file is complete and not corrupt. If it is corrupt or incomplete, BitTorrent will download the missing pieces.

1) Make sure any codecs (e.g. DivX 5 and XviD) or codec packages (e.g. Nimo or K++) are fully uninstalled, restart if anything needed to be uninstalled. (More info.)

2) Make sure you have one player listed in the Suggested Players section. Media Player Classic is highly recommended.

3) Install files in the Level 1 group, namely ffdshow-alpha, and check if the file plays correctly. For most fansubs you do not need to proceed further.

4) If the file still does not play, go to the next group, Level 2, install the files, and see if the file plays correctly. If it does not, keep going (through Level 3, 4, and so on) until the file plays.

3) If the file still does not play, run the file through GSpot and make sure that you've installed the correct decoders necessary for the file. This is to make sure you did not miss an item on the above list.

4) Take advantage of the SEARCH feature of the bulletin board. Please try several searches using different parameters, since the problem may not be listed exactly the same way.

7) If the search turned up nothing, then, and only then, post a thread about your problem. Please include the full file name of the file you're having trouble playing. Also include information on how you obtained/downloaded the file. Finally, post any information GSpot may have given you regarding the file.
