I have encoded some home movies to mpg-1 so that I can play them on a friend's computer. The mpg plays flawlessly on both my xp P4 and win98 P2 systems. The target system is a win98 P4 Celeron 2.6Ghz computer but it does not play the files at all correctly. When using WMP6.4, the mpg is loaded ok but there is not output(both video & audio) and the player freezes. The only way to exit out is to ctrl,alt & delete.
I upgraded to WMP9 and also installed powerdvd but both failed the same way and also froze after loading the mpg file.
Any suggestions what could be causing this?
