Sorry to put this here, but I figure all us race fans are prolly more proficient at this stuff.
Anyhow I'm using bit torrent on an Apple, streaming from Racing-underground, I get picture but no sound.... any suggestions?
install: http://perian.org/
Perian is cool, but still limited. VLC will play ANYTHING... http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
+1 on VLC just make sure you upgrade it regularly. Works with apple remote too!!
+2 on VLC.
Thanks Gents, I installed VLC and it works like a charm.
So many races to catch up on ;D. I watched BSB at Oulton Park last night, insane! Why can't we have Superbike racing like that in the AMA?
toss the apple and get a pc ;D

you'd still have to install the required codec(s).

I download from racing underground regularly and have a PC, I use GOM player and it auto downloads codecs. I never need to search for anything like that or have any issues playing video with audio. Silly apple people [cheeky]

That would only be the case if Honda had the same performance and feel a Ducati does. Ducati is no apple, It is passion filled [bacon] ;D

Walk into an Apple Store and yell "PC's RULE!" and see how much non-passion you encounter. Let me know first though, I'd like to be there [clap]

GOM still makes you download and install them manually even though it finds them for you. Otherwise they would be breaking numerous laws and would be out of business quite quickly I would imagine. I've never had to look for a codec using VLC and it's XP/Vista/OS X/Linux/BeOS compatible. That's pretty damn nice.
i really appreciate the Be compatibility.

Hehe, well IMHO BeOS is the greatest OS that was ever created. Unfortunately, it's not terribly useful for me anymore... :(
Alright...I'm a tech retard and need help. :P
I downloaded VLC Media Player (and GOM). Neither will open the bit torrent files from racing underground (I tried two separate ones for the Laguna race). GOM said I needed the Codec (but its auto find feature didn't find anything), and VLC said it was an unrecognizeable file.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm on Windows XP.
you launched the torrent with a bt client (like vuze, or µtorrent) and downloaded the video that way, right?
the .torrent file isn't the video, it's just how you get the video.
Nope. I'll download one of those and try that. Thanks...I figured I was missing a step.
I knew the torrent wasn't the video since it's so small...I guess I thought the players would magically start the download though. Duh. :P

That sounds pretty good, guess time for me to check out VLC
