Trouble playing Touka Gettan episodes
Hi I wanted to ask 2 questions. Y'all see.. I'm downloading the Touka Gettan torrents and I just finished downloading episode 1 and I was trying to play it and I played it on winamp and it played it but the video was like upside down anyone knows why is this happening? I then tried playin it using windows media player and it played it right so I dont know what happened there. My winamp program is working fine, I've never had this happen before. Anyway, the other question is.. I tried to open the episode on virtualdub but it gave me this message
''couldn't locate decompressor for format 'H264' (unknown). Virtualdub requires a video for windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by windows media player, are not suitable.'' I guess I need to download a codec in order to open this episode with virtualdub but anyone knows where I can get that codec and whats the codec I need? I really dont know much about this things so I hope y'all can help me out. |

What version of Winamp are you using? I think that the flipped video issue was something that afflicted older versions and was later correct... that, or the flipped video occurs with certain video cards, I can't remember. Either way, I had it as well. Look in the preferences under the video option, I believe there should be an option about correcting it, although I don't remember exactly what it was called. If I'm misremembering about the option, then updating your graphics card drivers may also help.
For your codec question, you're dealing with an H.264-coded video. A post on another forum gives the following instructions to get it working: Quote:
If you want to encode to H.264, install the x.264 codec to your system. Note that x.264 can't be used for H.264 playback.

Oh my... SRN's "fail-safe" h264 in AVI comes in again. n_n
1) Please do not use Winamp (for God's sake; it's an audio player primarily - ie it would be like using MPC as your main audio player). :V 2) What Ledgem quoted should be fine for opening it in VirtualDub, but; why the hell would you want to use that program for playing back video? (It's used for capturing, encoding and other video tasks that you most likely won't need; d'oh.) 3) Get CCCP and profit! ^^

If you must use Winamp using this method with CCCP should work.
Otherwise....yes please stop using Winamp for videos. |
