Playing an unsupported file
(lemmy.ml)
Image Alt Text: "After downloading a 2.5GB movie
Me: Presses play Movie unsupported file" A person is shown with eyes on her laptop punching the wall beside her, causing it to crack.
where the fuck are u getting ur movies??? I've only ever seen mp4 and mkv, all of which even windows media player handles I think
It's an ".avi.exe".
yeah idk if vlc does .exe
Windows would be greatly improved if it would let you bind VLC as the default handler of exe files
I'm sure there's a way
Hold my beer
i actually accidentally made all exe files open in Windows Media Center on a family pc as a kid.
basically the system had to be reinstalled.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Mp4 and mkv are container formats. Your comment is somewhat equivalent to "where are you guys getting text files that can't be displayed, I've only ever seen zip files".
The codec in the container is what needs to be played, and can fail to render correctly.
