Make sure you're using the lastest (or least version 7) Windows Media Player. Some things just won't play on the 6.x version.

I've got the latest version. I don't think the codec is installing, even though I'm telling it to (which doesn't make any sense) because I found Quicktime on this computer and tried to play the clip and it said that a required compressor is missing. So screw it, I'm not going to worry about it anymore.

I can't read, but it seems about your winner unit (a horse riding unit) become a Military Leader!
First appearance so far of the born of a New Leader!

Hey, this makes me feel stupid, but I can't seem to get any video playback. All I'm getting is sound on Windows Media Player, which sucks. I can't download any other player because of company restrictions. Am I screwed?

Don't feel bad, it happened to me, too. Exit Windows Media Player, then double click on the file itself, as opposed to opening it through WMP. It *should* work. If it doesn't, then I have absolutely *no* idea how it worked on mine...

I also wish they'd show us some of the modern era's!! Maybe the graphics aren't done for it yet?!?

More likely they didn't really have time for it. The guy probably had a limited amount of time to show off the product, so he only showed certain things, like new featured (graphics, certain options, etc). My guess, since they are playtesting it now, is that the game itself is *done* and Firaxis is just making sure there are no bugs.

That, or the greedy SOB's are enjoying the game so much that they don't want to share it....

if you can't adjust the balance either cover/hide/disconnect the left speaker or use headphones and take the left earphone off your ear to hear it in english more clearly.

I wanna watch my movies at TAFE (college) but when i goto to
install the divx codec (doesnt matter which version) i get an error, i
believe its because only the Admin account has the ability to
modify/add drivers/codecs etc. Does anyone know away around
this? or away to tell WPM or any other player what "files" to use to
decode the movie without them actually bieng "installed".

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nope you are pretty much going to have to brown nose the IS
department and talk them into letting you install it. Short of that you
might try guessing what the local admin account is. If they aren't too
bright or they are absent minded the..................

Thanks Mavas.
Well, at least I know there is nothing that can be done.
It took me 5 min. here but I will have to spend 5 hours at home downloading this thing.

It was in the PC Gameplay/Gamespot UK preview, as a confirmed statement straight from FIRAXIS.

can someone tell me how to set the stereo all the way to the right in windows media player? (so I can hear only the english language)

[Darkknight]

9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 baby this things downloaded!!! OK building output file great hurry up!!

AAAAAGGHHH!! Unable to download appropriate player or something SH**!!

Yabadabadooooo! I downloaded the DivX thing and it works!!!!
BTW to get it all right sided go into View and then options and it's in there. I was playing it with just one earphone half the time

I took a load of screenshots of interesting bits and put them in a zip about 25 or so. So anyone with slow connections I'll mail it to you. Lots of stuff about the various resources you get from plains and grass etc. and any extra you get from goods on the tile. It's about 700kb so much smaller then the video. Reply in my new thread on it.

BTW I think it was Numidian Warriors

you dont do it windows media player, you do it in your volume controls

FOR WINDOWS:
-Go to audio controls (notated by some kind of audio-looking thing in the bottom right)
-Open Volume Controls (or whatever it is your software has you do)
-Set the master volume balance all the way to the right.

Believe me it works. The guy was talking check into the left side of the machine, and the firaxian was talking from the right.
Whatever kind of video recorder the guy had, it took note of that.

FOR MAC AND LINUX:
-go **** yourself
