Hi,

The .vob files are present but when I try to play dem, my Power DVD hangs. My friend was able 2 play dem in his DVD player. Do I need any special software or codec 2 play dem?? Wats goin on??

Any sorta help wud be gr8ly appreciated...

Computer says "no."
< cough >



Sorry, I don't have an answer, but that was too easy to pass up.

Note to Dsypha...

You appear to be new, so I'll be easy on you. On this forum, you're more likely to get helpful responses when you type in proper English, as opposed to whatever slanguage you're posting in. No one wants to DECIPHER a post to find the meaning.

Please...no more 'dem'. Just type THEM. It's pretty easy.

Can he use 'dey' instead?

Is there a character on the show who talks that way?

Yeah, speak the Queen's English!

Shelley must have shown up to post that! Yeah but no but yeah but shut up you slag.

These dvds have quite the bizarre structure. If you take a look at them in some sort of reauthoring program, it will claim that there is 10+gb of data on there. They rely very heavily on seamless branching to allow for episodes to be viewed in there entirety or to view sketches by character. It's so bad that even the opening title sequences might be branched.

Perhaps your player has difficulties with the scope of the branching ...

Thanks for the prompt and "meaningful" reply mate. Im not sure I understand what this branching thing is all about... but anyways... What am I to do now??

I guess you are the only one who doesnt understand my "slanguage". I am a member of more than 50 forums and I've always used this "slanguage" to post in those forums and I always get proper responses. Its quite unfortunate you dont have the ability to understand them. I guess all your family and friends speak in "proper" english ONLY. and I wonder how you were able to follow the slanguage used in Little Britain ??!! Do you even chat?? And I guess you use proper english even while chatting !

Im sorry mate neva heard her speakin.. even on Tele

Me thinks dat peeps who be all typin in slang makes demselfs be lookin dummer.

Dey aint slang.. dere jus short hand. Well anyways... We are moving away from the topic.. !!

No, I don't chat. And when I do communicate with friends on instant messengers, yes, I do type proper English. I hate it when people use slang online...it makes them look...dumb.

Well, real slang's not so bad, but that stuff sounds like Jar Jar Binks or Br'er Rabbit.

Its called "Chat Lingo" and its a standard language used by "regular" chatters... Look into it smarty-pants !! Here's a tutorial http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/glossary.php

Cool! I think I'm catching on!

There's been a veritable plethora of n00bs using that hippity hop language lately.

By the way, the above text reminds me of the first chapter of "Flowers for Algernon."

That's all well and good. However, this is not a chat room, it's a discussion forum, where we use proper English.

Solutions? Try the disks in another player (as opposed to the computer), exchange them for another set to see if the particular set is at fault, etc. If you have the same issue on another player, it may be the set. If the only device having problems is your DVD drive in your computer, it's the drive.

That said, proper English is respected here. However, the lack of it in this thread has lead to an extremely amusing exchange. The gem below has had me chuckling for several minutes now. LOL

There, I fixed it for everyone.

Whatever....I had a comlete eppy when I read this post!
