DVDit Pro unable to find suitable decoder

[bolandj]

I have been using Premiere 6.5 for some time and used Pinnacle Tools for capturing. I export the timeline to MPEG using either the Pinnacle encoder or the Adobe encoder. I have also used the Ligos LSX encoder.

I then used DVDit Pro to make the DVD. It has worked.....until recently. Now when I try to add a video, including ones that I have previously used, I get an error message "unable to find suitable video decoder" and it does not add the file.

What does that mean? I reinstalled DirectX9, and checked the video codecs list. It is a long list ( about a dozen and more items) which includes Morgan Multimedia, Pinnacle, and others.

I can double click the M2V file and use windows media manager and it plays just fine.

What happened? What is missing? what do I need to do?

I should say that I also have my C drive on a mobile dock and I made a new C drive for editing only, starting from scratch, and it does the same thing. Both are using Windows XP Pro. What am I missing?

I too am having this problem with MPEG-2 files I created with TMPGEnc.
Only started after I updated XP and upgraded on Microsoft's web site to Media Player 9. Must have something to do with it!
