Seeing jrfer's newest sticky thread on OGM tool, I wonder whether there is any tool to get round WMV3 or WVC1 in avi container. Frankly, I'm rather sick of downloading a file only to find out that I can't do anything with it without downloading more codec's and/or a new media player. (I prefer minimal number of codec's since the last time my unit crashed because of too many unnecessary codec's.)
Is there any way to get round it e.g. converting to avi, or any way to tell that this file is in an avi container before downloading?
Yay! Good news this time. Right, will go straight to d/l SUPER and see whether it would do the trick.
Best of all > it's free!
Even when I'm torrenting, the file will be displayed as xxx.avi and not until I try to play it that a sign saying something like Error - you need codecs bla.. bla... bla.. or xxx media player installed, appears. Well, it would be too late then 'cause I would already have wasted time on d/l.
Super thanks for suggestion on SUPER!
P.S. BTW FYI, even Total Video Converter won't do the trick...
I've seen some files that will only play on a special player or with some codec that you can only get from a specific site. It is my belief that these are spam or scam or a means of spreading malware.
Personally I would stay well away.
But nevertheless, good luck with your quest. regards..

I think you will find these are fake files designed to get you to buy a player or a codec and then what you get for your money is a trojan that will send details of your banking and creditt cards to a bunch of crooks.
Be careful out there!!!! regards..

You're right on both matters. Recently, I've just put two files in quarantine because there were warnings that these two were "Exp/ASF.Getcodec.Gen.Exploit". How's that?! And the funny thing is that these two files were using, hmm.., let say 'signatures' of the rippers (persons not application) on the file-names. I used to d/load quite a few files under these signatures and they were okay until recently when I got these two files.
I think there might be a reason behind it such as earning some points/pennies on any purchase of the specific codec/media player (as I'm a possitive-thinker ). But your warning on 'banking spy-trojan' is possible too. Thanks again.
