What to do with my downloaded mpeg-files?

[progislife]

Hi I have a lot of downloaded MPEG´s now but I cant open it.
Only one file is open in realplayer, but the rest does not open up at all.
Whats wrong?
It´s hard to belive they are all corrupt.

Thanks anyone
Stefan

There probably not corrupt.
More than likely that you don't have the codecs.
You don't say if they are VCD or SVCD ,MPEG1 or 2 etc??

Hi and thanks for reading/answering.


They are downloaded as mpeg.
"Apornas Planet (Swe Sub)DVD ripSvcd cd1" with the extention .MPEG.

It´s not able to open it in any player, then I get the message that it must be encoded.

I tried in TMPGEnc but I cant get any sound.
I cant open the file in "virtual-dub" either.

Seems like I have to skip downloading MPEG-files and only search for DivX-files in the future.

Try downloading Nimo Codec Pack first.
You will also need a Player that can handle Mpeg2 like Zoomplayer (available at www.vcdhelp.com).

You can play SVCD (mpeg2) files with a software DVD player such as PowerDVD.

Thanks.
The most important is to convert it so I can burn it to my standalone dvd-player.

I dont want to look at the film on my computer.

I use Adaptec Easy...and I cant open the file in that program.
If I convert DivX in TMPGEnc, then I can open it in Adaptec and burn it.

Any mpeg file with "SVCD" or "VCD" in the filename is likely to be VCD/SVCD encoded, simply burn with Nero...

Thanks.
I will try to get latest Nero, then burn it.
