Post subject: | Please help a noob |
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I am NOT computer friendly, and am struggling to do things that come naturally for you. I started using bittornado to download some movies for my children. I have mostly had good luck with everything, except wmv files. I have downloaded more codecs and players and inspectors that my head is spinning. No matter what I try, I cannot play a wmv file. In my win med player, I get errors that there is something wrong with my sound, but it is aok. It also goes on about ID3 headers? Nothing I try works. I have tried to convert wmv files using cucusoft, videozilla, etc. Nothing works. Please help. Thanks, Ken |

Windows? http://www.cccp-project.net/ Linux? Mac? You may be out of luck. VLC may be your best bet. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ |

Thank you Shadow. Not only for trying to help, but for all of the hard work that you obviously put into bit tornado. I use windows xp. I have windows media 11. On the last file that I tried, a copy of Coraline from demonoid.com, there was a message in the folder that said I needed a DRM Indentifier. I don't know what that is, but I can't seem to find something with google. I went to demonoid.com and thier registration is closed, so I can't ask there. They do have an alert on thier site that DRM is a trojan program, but this just confuses me. This came from them? If you can point me in the right direction, thanks... If you can't thanks anyway. |

Run Windows Update, make sure your system is updated. XP w/ WM 11 should do all WMV, something may have screwed up your codec base. The download at the bottom of this page may help. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/window ... nload.aspx Also check this page. http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1151022 |

I tried the things suggested. Remember I am a computer dud. I think that I have followed and performed correctly. I did try some other suggestions. I did a different download and it turned out to be a wmv also. I rightclicked it and under a liscense tab, it had "Protected Content". I think I might be at the source of my problem. I looked at the folder that was downloaded and there are 3 files. one is the wmv ( the actual movie ), one is a .nfo and one is a .sfv file that I cannot open. Am I missing something? |

Open the .NFO file with notepad; it may contain information that can help. |

I can't believe this. I just opened it and it had stuff about pornography in it, obscene websites and such. Thank goodness I wasn't able to open the file, this was a movie that I have been trying to download for my CHILDREN. Well , thank you yet again for all of your help. And thank you for all of the work you put into Bit Tornado. |

you should probably look for a different smaller site, preferably a private torrent site. that way shit like that doesnt happen |
