zem: recently i joined a Anime club and got a fair few anime series and stated watching them all was fine until i started encountering silent episodes i checked if it was just the disk it was not

so i went hunting for ways to fix the problem found something tired theNimo codec fix pack apparently that has helped heaps of people but I could not get it to work maybe installed it wrong or something i don't know

Look i would really appreciate it if anyone who knows how to fix this problem just spell it out what programs, patches, or codecs I need and treat me like I am an idiot and show it very simply step by step what i have to do to fix it I am just so sick of this (it was actually the final mega big battle episode of a series when i encounted this arghh ever heard a silent fire ball) appoligse for spelling some jerk stuffed the computer i use and spell checks stuck on spanish... yipee

thank you

It sounds as if the Video CD titles you have experienced this with don't actually have the audio stream written to the VCD. During authoring of a VCD title, it is required to decompose the video and audio as separate entities, encode each file to the VCD standard and put them back together again for burning. It sounds to me like the author has left the audio out (either deliberately or inadvertently). In this case, there would be no fix other than try to get hold of another version that DOES have the audio with it. I know its possible to do this by accident, because I have done it myself on one occasion. I could be totally wrong, but it really does sound like this.
