For people who like... (was going to say RM files, but don't think anyone really likes them) China/hk/taiwan related stuff... Asus O!Play does pretty much everything WD TV does and supports RMVB / RM. Patriot's Box Office does as well. Some come with wireless so you can stream stuff directly from yo...

Check the other forums... there's already a post on this and torrents posted. Also, most of the major torrent sites seemed to have survived or bounced back since almost all the ones I used to use are still there. I think the only real death was BTChina.. but their overseas version is still up and ru...

Most Chinese sites post in the original language as well.. There are a few that have sections that only post cantonese dubbed stuff (which seems to dominate and makes it oddly difficult to find anything mandarin, anyway...).

As the title implies, what about The Shadow of Empress Wu? I've searched the forum here and there seem to be no-one talking about it. Or am I supposed to search by it's Chinese name? There isn't even a page for it at the dramawiki. Why is that? Oh, and btw, is it uploaded anywhere? I'd really like ...

Random thought: Could it be that they don't let other countries buy the rights and air the dramas (both Korean and Japanese) since they earn more money out of selling expensive DVDs (box sets)? Entirely possible.. obviously without certain info nothing is for certain. Such as exactly how many broad...

Riea

You got some points here. Still, there is no relation, as for me, between banning downloading outside Korea and profiting from it. They should realize that we ( I mean the World) the huge marketplace where they can sell their stuff. I don't think they intentionally ban their products because they d...

Its more about how within reach you are... if you're in the area where the copyright holder resides, they are more likely to take action against you simply because the cost (while extremely expensive) can be minimal since a legal demand/cease letters cost very little and are often enough of a scare ...

I have some of my dramas on DVD, but comparing the prices and my wage - still not affordable. I buy only dramas I've seen, so that I know what I'm expecting. I wouldn't buy an unknown one.

Coffee Prince: 17 eps+ Special. Anyway, plus shipping fees. I paid for some dramas and it was twice as much. 40$ isn't much, but it's a "raw" price, you have to include tax (yes), and fees. That will make around 60-70 $. Pricey as for me. I'm not saying it isn't pricey for some people... ...

There isn't much I actually like enough to buy and generally imports are more expensive... but looking at the yesasia prices...

The buffering situation also occurs if the video file itself is damaged or incomplete. In which case, repairing the video or downloading an uncorrupted version of the video will correct this.

Actually the story is slightly different when compared to the original movie.

Not sure what you're trying to do.. doesn't matter.. but one thing is for certain... its exactly as the error states. You don't have the codecs required.

I'm unsure of where you got the notion that p2p and utorrent is safe.. Nothing is ever completely safe, people will always find ways around everything. That said.. if you're afraid of getting caught, simply don't do it. The idea of "Private Trackers" just means they allow logins from parti...

@luvkdrama

The error tells you exactly what you need to know, you either don't have the right codecs to play the file or it may not be a media file at all. You'll have to give more details or at least what the FULL filename is before anyone can figure out what the problem is..

Riea

Kind of a stab in the dark here.. but... MAYBE you are burning videos completely unconverted to VOB format, in which case they won't play on standalone players. I haven't used Nero in ages so I'm not sure if it verifies that files are in VOB format. If it does, then I'm not sure, you'd have to give ...

wait, are you trying to play the srt files? or videos with subs? Somewhat sounds like (and I apologize if this is not the case) you think srt files are video files that can be played. Also, verify you have Vobsub installed.

The downloaded file MAY be corrupted or some header info might be damaged. I've noticed that VLC is somewhat more resilient when it comes to reading damaged files. That could be one possible reason as to the error. Could try to repair the file or re-download it if you wanted a copy to keep (that wor...

x264 has generally higher quality for the same size. The only real disadvantage seems to be the fact that older and less powerful systems can't play them properly. ie. my 3.2ghz p3 sometimes has issues playing them lag free, my newer systems don't have these issues

Riea

to my understanding, hardsubs are mixed in with the video data, no way to remove them. The only options I've ever seen or heard of are watermark removing tools/filters which generally blur and blotch out the waternark, but generally leaves an ugly blurry mess. or to crop/trim/block out with a solid ...

media player... classic? or windows media player? We'd need more details about what codecs/players you tried or have on your system. RE: Your edited comment. This is highly unlikely because srt files and their programs don't know or care what the video file is. ie, you can rename the srt filename to...

Riea

....doubtful. Hardsub means the text is part of the video. Trying to change it would be like trying to change the colour of the ribbon someone was wearing in the video. Even if it WAS possible, which I highly doubt, it would take absurd amounts of work to do it.

This is a bug with GoM player. I've experienced it in the past as well and no amount of meddling with the sub file or reloading of the program will correct it. Either you restart your computer and it SHOULD fix the problem or use another player for the file.

First thing to do is make sure that your filenames match up. Example: Default names Sub = Insoon.Is.Pretty.E01.KOR.HDTV.XviD-Ental-[WITH S2].srt Vid = Insoon.Is.Pretty.E01.KOR.HDTV.XviD-Ental.avi should be changed to something like Sub = Insoon.Is.Pretty.E01.KOR.HDTV.XviD-Ental-[WITH S2].srt Vid = I...
