I've been waiting for the AVI+DShow crashing problem to be fixed

. Now it runs my AVI files perfectly.

Ummm I posted this already in the Software Section :P

Phoenix · March 26th, 2004

I wonder why Raziel posted about this in the news section(only emu or video driver related posts IIRC) this is a software related post

That is what I thought, meaning I posted in the right place

**501XX** · March 26th, 2004

nice news.

jareg · March 26th, 2004

Really great news

No updating needs to be made

**Kirby** · March 26th, 2004

-__- you move the ATI Omega driver news to the Software forum, yet you keep a useless program like winamp in the main News discussion

One word: Foobar

**Raziel** · March 26th, 2004

I didn't move anything.
And I posted here cause I know not many people check soft discussion (besides, I don't like this rule

)

I knew that. I was just using a figure of speech

I don't like the whole forum news system either. Expect a discussion on this soon

I wonder if surround sound in wma files will work correctly in this version. I have to use wmp in order to get all of my speakers to play wma files. In winamp, two of the speakers have no output, but the rest of the formats are fine. Yes, I know wma sucks big time, but i aint no audiophile either. It sounds fine to me and doesnt take up much space.

heh now mods/admins conspiring against the forum? I feel a little bit of Anarchy here

Proto · March 26th, 2004

Anyway, as much as you dont like the rules the admins should also abide to them. AKA this doesnt belong here

... cmon even the previous Winamp releases were left on the Software Forum

Toshiro · March 26th, 2004

Well, lets get a final decision from the admins and see if they are willing to let it go. If so, then my post in the software has to be deleted (even though it was first

).

Mako Eyes · March 27th, 2004

yuck . . . I don't like how v5.03 handles .wma

I'm goin' back to 5.01, .wma's are much smoother on that one

For your information, we make the rules, and if we feel they should be changed, due to circumstance, or new admins, ideas, then will we change them, the first and only thing you need to know, is that you abid by the rules

We abid by them, but being admins we have right to dispute and change them 'for the good of everyone'

Proto · March 28th, 2004

Well... i havent saw any statement that says "We may change the rules at any given time without advise" and, AFAIK the rule of the news forums being used for emu related news only hasnt changed. As such, yes, the previous rule still exist and everyone must abide to it (that means you)

That is, unless you are Bobby. He's the only one that can do as he pleases
