Thanks a lot Mystic_Kitsune........looking forward to a genius solution from you!!

Lats night i was traveling in a bus. It was a 5 hour journey and i was reading Dice by T.N. Baker. According to routine, the lights were switched off. My cellphone battery died and the only way i could read was my mp3 player. In an attempt to get more light, i started increasing the contrast, as soon as it hit 128, the screen went black, just like it does when i try to play my videos.

I thought this could help, so i posted it.

I'm not sure though if fixing the contrast settings help with your original problem, but this is an interesting observation because those seem wrong to me on my c250 as well. Basically it looks like the settingslist is twice as long as it should be, ranging from 0-255 and the correct values would only range from 0-127 thus "starting a second time" at 128. I don't think that the mentioned plugins should be messing with the contrast settings but did you try if changing your contrast has any influence on the mpeg problem? Mine works well with the contrast set to "83" in case you want to have a starting point...

[charmed4good]

you got me wrong........

why i posted that was because it has the same effect, maybe meaning that the error is caused because it is beyond the capacity of the player to display the video. In the sense, that maybe something in the video is maybe too high or too low(similar to the contrast setting) such that the display was not possible for the player.

you make perfect sense to me charmed4good.....but it cant be possible
maybe the displaying capacities of each player are different???

because as pixelma had earlier told us that she just downloaded the elephants dream video and it had played. She didnt reduce or increase anything in the video.

Just as a note, pixelma is a she

For me, that ZIP is invalid.

[zajacattack]

Try downloading it again.

[MPeGieC240]

It still comes up as invalid or corrupt. Is it in some kind of special ZIP format?

[zajacattack]

I just downloaded and unzipped it with WinRAR no problem.

[MPeGieC240]

I have no clue why it says it's corrupt. Maybe I'll restart my computer to see if it makes a difference.

[zajacattack]

Are you trying to open it? Trying saving it and then opening it.

Also, what are you using to upzip it?
