Dieser Teil des Themas ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten

Some of my video files are not playing in VirtualDJ 5.0rev2. They played fine in VirtualDJ 3.4
Does anyone know why?

What extensions are they? maybe you need to add them in codecs.
 
Most of them are avi, The audio plays but no picture, and the avi is already added in the codecs.
 
Change the video decoder, choose windows media player instead of video decoder.
 
I went to the codecs tab and chaged avi from video decoder to windows media video decoder and I still get no picture just sound. I checked some of my mpeg and vob files and they seem to play ok. The problem is just with avi files.
 
Dowload the latest k-lite mega codec pack from here and try: www.free-codecs.com
 
Did that. I now have picture and audio for my avi files but when I load them, they load very slow.
 
Now change windows media decoder to video decoder all should be fine.
 
When I switch back to video decoder I loose the picture again.
 
Strange, did you reboot your computer after installing the codec pack?, make a full install again.
 
I re-installed the codecs and rebooted my computer. The video will not play with the video decoder. It only plays with the windows media video decoder.
 
You may want to install this utility:

It will determine the format and codec needed to play any particular file. The file you think is an AVI may not be.

Then use the Windows Media Player video decoder.
 
When I use windows media video decoder there is a big delay before the file loads. But this seems to be the only way my avi files play. If I swith to video decoder only the audio plays.
 
Something else you can use is a program called Winavi. You can convert the file to a type you know that VDJ can process internally. www.winavi.com
 
Why is it that version 3.4 decoded my avi files but version 5.0 does not?
 
The decoding engine has been revamped, so it might have something to do with that.
 
If it wasn't broke why fix it?
 
Well..... it was kinda broke in some ways, so it needed to be fixed.
 
But now I have 12,000 avi files that when I load them, they take about 10sec to load.
