Use mplayer! It runs on Mac OS X and almost any other UNIX out there!

There is no excuse for saying "I can't play [file format]" anymore when there's one player out there that will play any modern format...


Actually, wait a second. I'm not sure if WMV support was made native or if mplayer still goes through the Win32 DirectShow filter to get it to work -- the mplayer status page doesn't really say much about what works on what platform.


Well, I guess if it's the latter, then I guess you guys really are out of luck :P

I'm looking, and I don't think it works for osx.

It says it work with Unix, but I don't think that nessearly means it works for OSX.

We can play them on Windows Media Player (we have our own verson)

It just sucks.

(think real media, but skips a LOT)

Hmm, not sure which should get deleted first --- the DBZ videos or the .wmv files. In .wmv's defense, at least mplayer can handle at lot of them. Nothing, OTOH, can make a lot of DBZ videos watchable.

wm9 is actually a reasonable codec, despite being fairly single platform.


Again, there is no justification for not allowing something onto the carrot server based purely upon quality (visual or otherwise). It's an offensive idea.

Which removes it from my list of reasonable codecs, since that single platform isn't either of the two I use.

Well, I'm the evil server admin, so, to play the role, I must disagree :wink: And I could probably actually get away with it if we ran out of disk space, which unfortunately we're not close to. And if it weren't for those pesky kids and that dog.

I know your right, but I still get worried. -_- Will we ever get to a point were we will have to limit uploads and downloads to only those who are donating... I know that kind of makes it look like a for profit deal, but... Well you can't think of this as a free service, cause it won't work that way. It needs to be thought of as more of a large colective of people all buying bandwith in bulk. Buying anything in bulk is always cheaper. We would be spending a LOT more if we all tried to get this kind of hosting on our own, but together we can all pay like 12 bucks and get what we need. (I might end up putting in more than what I'm putting up now, but if everyone chiped in, it would be all we needed.)

I'm rambling.

What if a video gets like 95% ones in the star rateing deal, have a system where they get kicked out then. (they have to get at least 100 votes before it takes affect) Would that be a way to limit quailty?

...Never mind. (I keep trying to look for a good way to do it, but in the end Ian is right...)
