kwokwai Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I am using win XP, and and this is my very first time using BC 0.7. I was downloading an anime episode, which file size is 200MB totally. The progress of this file was 25%, so I should be able to preview 50MB of it. The preview media player download info showed me the download bufferring is 35KB per second. I had waited for an hour long, but was unable to watch anything. :blink: ... any ideas? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kluelos Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 If you're previewing for quality purposes, don't use the built-in previewer. Instead use the free VLC player from Videolan.org. It's very good about incomplete files, and will view most, but not all filetypes. I use it as my main file viewer, and rarely use anything else.

Right, the preview option didn't help a lot. I had waited for another two hrs, but was only able to have a 8 seconds long preview, and then BC stopped response. I had to restart my PC.

The extension for those imcomplete files is of .bc, I wonder if VLC can really work for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extension for those unfinsihed downloaded files is of .bc, I wonder if VLC can really work for me! I also use VLC for previewing incomplete stuff... it's good any computer could have it cas it's freeeware, and is able to open many media files very good...
