Playing SVCD on my HTPC-> Decoder install not helping

[ewingr]

I have some older SVCD disks that I created 3-4 years ago. They play on the computer I created them on, and they played on the DVD player I had back then. I am now using a HTPC, and they don't play on it in either of TheaterTek, Media Player, or Zoom PLayer.

I installed the GPL MPeg 1/2 Directshow decoder. That didn't help (i.e. Windows Media Player says 'One or more codes are required').

Next I tried installing the Dscaler 5008 Decoder. Still no good.

Any ideas?

try vlc next. Or mediaplayerclassic. Both have internal codecs from what I understand.
