Trouble with getting video to appear

[Joe D]

seriously annoyed here....ive got a few .img files and i mount them with daemon tools etc etc and i play it with VLC player i get the audio but no video....now heres the weird part, i deleted all the codecs i downloaded and what not and just started from scratch and got ac3 filter and elecard mpeg 2 decoder or w/e dont know the names exactly but when i got those the videos would play fine after i mounted the .img file and played with vlc, it wasnt untill last night i had a video card driver problem (i think this is the problem not certain) so i went and updated my drivers for my video card and now all of a sudden im back to sqaure 1 where i get no video just audio


so basically it went from not working - delete all codecs and start from scratch - working - problem with video card drivers so i updated - not working......no clue what to do i posted this same problem earlier on these forums but a few days after posting it my videos worked just getting extremely annoyed because i get no damn video is very frustrating

That's strange because VLC doesn't need any codecs installed to play video. It uses it's own. That sounds more like a video card problem than a codec problem or a problem with mounting them with Daemon Tools. Will VLC play the video if you extract it to a file?

well it was this rar file and i extracted it and got this one img file.....but then i could change the file extention to a whole bunch of things....iso, vob, mpg...when i changed it to .mpg i was able to play it but wasnt like a dvd soo was kinda wack when i did .iso it changed it into a rar file and there were two folders inside that named Video TS and Audio TS....video ts had video files in it (what a coincidence lol) but yeah those file i could not play with vlc for some reason....dont really know what other information i could possibly give

I would either extract the DVD files from the ISO or just burn the ISO to DVD with DVD Decrypter. It's not clear how you are changing the extensions. You can't make a ISO into a VOB or a MPG by doing that. You can extract the DVD files with a program like ISOBuster.
