    Looks like a "xvcd" in vcd dat format. Try use the old vcdgear and convert it to a standard mpg.

    Or try play using media player classic or smplayer.

    Try to load the file into GSpot and it will tell you which codec you need.

    Thanks guys...just to see what my system has installed I loaded up GSpot and it indicates my file is encoded with MPEG-1 Layer 2 and that the codec is, in fact, installed. Is it because it's a VCD that it won't play? I'll take the advice and try the conversion to MPEG and see if that helps.
