[LUG] Windows FAIL

 

HI

having just copied a few episodes of "star trek new voyages" to a dvd, I
tried to have a go at playing back the video (avi)  windows media player
opens and decides by some weird logic to play it as an audio file
complete with the effects, giving up i switched over to Linux and played
the file on the portable hdd, through movie player and it works.

Upon loading in to media player on Windows it seemed to suggest it was
going to download the required files to play it, lol

anyway season 4 episodes 1,2, and 4 - 6 (i am working on ep 3) are now
on dvd. :)

Why is it windows does stupid things.

Paul
