Gom Player 2.3.96 reviews

@ihecker

Thanks had problems for ages and this sorted it in 3 mins......Thanks again....

@ Adriana

I've got the same problem like you. My Gom player can open the MKV video yet there is no sound.
It seems that the gom player cant play ripped/ compressed version of MKV properly.
I have another non-ripped/compressed MKV files and it just plays perfectly using gomplayer.

I wonder why gom couldnt play compressed MKV smoothly.

*Instead you can use Media Player Classic to open this so-called compressed MKV and it works perfectly for me with the sound on. cheers

Hey, I am using GOM for a long time, but I've re-installed Windows on my computer and, thus, GOM-Player...and though before it used to open all kind of video formats, now the GOM-Player version 2.21.4846 is giving me the Codec error message when trying to play files like .mkv and .mp4, the files open but there is no sound in it...and when I click on Find Codec,there is none found. What do I have to do? Please help,I really enjoy GOM.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THE GUY ABOVE BUT COULDNT FIND THE WEBSITE...HERE IT IS...

FOR WINDOWS 7

1. PUT YOUR CODEC INTO A BRAND NEW FOLDER
2. Go to "Organize" should be on the upper right hand corner of the folder
3. Click on "Folder and Search Options"
4. Click on the "View" tab
5. Scroll down to the folder "Hidden files and folders" and uncheck "dont show hidden files..." and check "show hidden files..."
6. right below that UNCHECK "hide extensions for known file types"
7. Now click ok and go back to the folder.
8. You should see sth like dtsfilter.download, right click on the file and choose "Rename"
9. Rename the codec file to "codecfile.exe"***

***example dont rename dtsfilter.download to codecfile.exe but rename the dtsfilter to dtsfilter.exe...in short only change the file extensions***

For any other OS go to http://www.mediacollege .com/microsoft/windows/extension-change.html

Hope this HELPS!!!!

Im very relax when i use gom player and now im happy

REJO!! TNX M8!
sorry for yelling :)

it is excellent

but i dont know how to install codecs pls tell me the procedure

@ gizmo:
Gom player is awesome but it dosnt have built in rmvb codec so the fix for your problem is

1.install real alternative (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm) or

2.re-install in you have already installed!

This problem also occured to me! and I found out that its not a problem of gom, but a problem of Real alternative/real (rmvb) codec!

It's a great player which plays all major format.

But yesterday, i don't know why, but it stopped playing RMVB format. I had played one RMVB clip few days back on GOM, but yesterday same or other clip would not open. I tried to re-stall it also, but same issue.
Last major updation, was installing IE 8.

If someone can tell what may be issue & how to overcome it?

Thanks

REJO! you're My HERO

GOM still Rocks!

well i really like it.. it works well for me

I thought this one worked well on my PC before. But it works not very good after I installed the updating version.... Maybe it causes problems to old Windows OSes?
Why do they do this to me?

I like this player because its internal codecs allow it to play "oddball" files. For example, somebody digitized the film prints of an old Japanese anime - Sherlock Hound.

Whoever did the encode decided to use a combination of H.264 video, Vorbis audio and put it in an MKV wrapper. The Dixv player couldn't get the Vorbis codecs, neither could Real Player or Windows Media Player. GOM Player played it correctly on the first try.

Overall: "Pretty Darn Good". Just have the folks at Greetech get rid of the "high-ascii" garbage in the time slider bar.

Two of my friends are suffering from this problem. Surprisingly both of them are using Asus motherboard.
I tried everything.
*Scan with anti-virus
*Install windows XP
*Install AGP card and DirectX latest version
*Download and install the latest version of GOM player.
*Not success with normal settings. Then change render mode as seen in other topics.
*Then try with codecs.
But all failed.

When I try to play any common video format, "Codecs cant be found" message appears. Only MKV format runs but that also shows the "Codecs cant be found" message while running!!
And one more thing. In my pc GOM player works like a charm. When I play something, some icon appears at the right corner of taskbar such as "ffdshow audio decoder". But no such thing appears in my friend's PC.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

GUYS... FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING HOW TO INSTALL THE CODECS, THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE!!!!!!!


I WAS STUCK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I FOUND IN A WEBSITE THAT ALL U HAVE TO DO WAS TO CHANGE THE [DOT]DOWNLOAD EXTENSION TO [DOT]EXE AND RUN THE FILE. IT WILL INSTALL ITSELF!!!

ENJOY GUYS!!! :))
