Cap5750 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Is it possible to watch these commericals outside of the game? I'd like to add some to my collection and replace others that may not have quite as decent quality. I can open them in Media Player, but all I get is the audio. Presuming I may need a video codec for it, I searched, but all I keep finding are file extension pages. Cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwilkson Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I have no idea what format the files are in, I don't have a copy of the Anthology. But if they are .avi format, try getting the Gspot codec utility. It's free from the web. It will allow you to find out what codec(s) are needed by the video file. I don't know if it works with things other .avi, but if not I'm sure there are similar utils out there for other file formats. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 It's probably some flavour of DiVX. If you get audio then it means you're missing the proper video codec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap5750 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 Yes, I know I'm probably missing the codec. The files have a cm extension. The only thing I can find is that it's called "Craftman Datafile"? I check out the utility to see what I can find. To those wondering where they are at.... Presuming you followed the default install and to your c drive... They would be found in: C:Program FilesMumboJumboActivision Anthology Remix Editionaavis Cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilkson Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Yeah...it probably is. If so, GSpot should work on it. After you know what you need, finding the codec is pretty easy in most cases. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindfield Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Quicktime? They're Quicktime vids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap5750 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 Don't think so...I downloaded the codecs for windows and played them in media play 9 on XP Pro. I think the quicktime codecs are so that you could play them in Quicktime? Cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
