Audio is OK but no picture

[vertical]

Hi,

I have got a HDTV backup. It is a ts file (4.3 GB). I play such files with MPC but this one is strange. When I try to open it with MPC, there is audio but no picture, just a black screen.

Actually it is already the second file with such a glitch. What's the problem with it? How to fix the problem?

Thank you!

Maybe a ts with h264 and then you need a h264 codec like coreavc or ffdshow. Or try play with VLC Media Player.

Thank you, Baldrick! I will try both options. Actually I've got ffdshow but it might happen the option is not set up.

Is there any difference between coreavc or ffdshow or one of the two would be OK? Thanx.

I checked my ffdshow. It has H.264 set up.

I have installed VLC player but it does not help.

I have installed CoreAVC but no luck too.

Any ideas, please? Thanks!

In Media Player, under Options, Performance, try reducing the Video Acceleration from Full to Medium.

acommuter, thanks.

Do you mean MPC? I browsed everything but could not find Performance under View > Options. There is no other "Options" in MPC.

I run version 6.4.9.0.

I'm not familiar with the Classic version. Try the embedded version of Media Player. For example, I have v9.

Windows Media Player gets an error and shuts down every time I try to open a ts file in it. It is 9 too. No luck again.

Try changing the "performance" setting in Windows Media Player and when that's done, play the file in MPC.
