VLC says "main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format."

VLC Media Player 0.8.2

I bought a new Mac (I'm a Mac newbie, this is my first Mac) I got a few .avi files that I wanna see and Quicktime 7 doesn't plays them. What codecs do I need?

DVI-D means it's digital only. If you have a graphics card which has a DVI-D port, you can only use digital displays with that port. DVI-I is more common, it offers both, digital a…

Hey guys, I have been doing a lot of research into DVI KVM boxes lately, and I think I have found the one I am going to get: http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=G…

Uhh, 1.67 to 1.8 is a meager jump.

the ibook may be more durable, but when you press the keys they just feel more flimsy and not as well put together as the powerbook. use them side by side and you can tell. i could…

The updates are here and laughable. But then again, Apple's a genius at Mind Control (aka 'think secret'). Consider this: they upped specs that were available nearly 8 months a…

What indication do you have that the PB is better built? I own both and, if anything, the iBook is the more durable machine. It would take a lot more force to crack the polycarbona…

I'm a 12" powerbook owner, I chose it because of the superdrive, which you still can't get with a 12" iBook. Otherwise, I would've picked the iBook because of better durability an…
