Question about downloading movies

I have a dell laptop running xp, netscape 7.1, when I try to download a .wmv movie, it comes up as scribble.
If I save it, I can view it.
But, sometimes it will load up from netscape.
Is that XP 'lite'?
Also, I get scribble for .asf, if I save it, should I be able to view?

Re: Question about downloading movies

GOP:is an MPEG term meaning Group Of Pictures. It is a collection of consecutive frames of video. Usually between 0.5 and 1 second of video will be held in 1 GOP.

Each picture within the GOP can be 1 of 3 types:


I (Intra) A complete picture that can be decoded without the need to decode any other pictures first. It is similar to a JPEG still image.


P (Predicted) P frames are predicted from the previous "reference" (I or P) frame. If the encoder can find correlation between the previous reference and the P frame, macroblocks in the P frame will be derived from the reference with a motion vector and DCT difference information. In the case where a good match cannot be found, the P frame will contain some intra coded macroblocks.


B (Bidirectional) These are predicted from the previous and future reference frames. The encoder can use macroblock information each of these frames to produce the best match for each macroblock in the B frame. If no good matches can be found the macroblock will be intra coded.

IP picture

Forces the encoder to produce a sequence containing only I and P frames (no B frames). Since the video sequence will not make use of compression provided by B frames a large bitrate (perhaps 5Mbps) will be required to make the image look acceptable.

Don't use this option unless you know what you are doing.

I have no idea what you just said.
If I use Internet Explorer, it loads right up, but not from Netscape, 90% of the time.

I have no idea what a goped video is, however, in my world, we use a 'GOP'

Group of pictures

I was trying to explain what it is and effects.

The goped video, the one where the scooter was racing the Trans am.
The thread '-No words can describe this video-'.
I am a netscape diehard, and when I hit a .wmv link, about 90% of the time, I get scribble. The other 10%, it comes through.

i get that same scribble scrabble crap too! The only reason im using netscape is because something is wrong with my internet explorer. It wont link to other pages for some reason, it just sits there adn thinks and thinks and then times out.
