no, i was able to play mpeg2 files on my windows media player, but now... its like NAH!! no suitable decompressor found.

Just glanced through the file info...they all apear to be mpeg2...so you may want to install a software DVD. To play MPEG2/SVCD with Windows Media Player you need a software DVD Player installed or a MPEG2 Codec. I would check the tools section for the player and install that, as most of the mpeg2 codecs cost something. (I dont belive that mpeg2 is in the Nemo pack)

Just read what u wrote above....something that you installed may have overwritten or corrupted the mpeg2 ablity you once had...Install (or reinstall) a player and see if it cures the problem

oh, so i just have to rip the codec out from powerdvd/windvd and i am able to play mpeg2 files on windows media player?

No just installing the player will provide media player with the proper stuff in the system...

but i dont wish to keep the file on my system

[MaDmiZe]

Well....you can try installing the PowerDVD demo.....play a mpeg2 file with Media Player....If it works...then uninstall the PowerDVD...but don't let it delete any shared files....the files that you needed should still be in the one of the windows operating folders...(cause most time installing a window app is like a small explosion.....it speads files everywhere...Its these file you want.)
