mpeg only opens in winamp

[peterock]

When I open it with Windows Media Player, it just says 'connecting' and does nothing, so I tried it VirtualDub to check for errors, it gave me this error: "No video frames found in MPEG file."

I then tried it with a DivX player, that also did not work, but then I tried it with Winamp, which recently started supporting video, and it worked fine, the only problem was I couldn't use the seek bar to fast forward or rewind.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Any advice?

install a mpeg2 codec ..

easy way is to install powerdvd or windvd

also

use vitualdubmod instead of virtualdub to open mpeg2 files

I already have that codec installed, and I just uninstalled/reinstalled it to make sure, and I'm still having those problems.

anyone else?

can you play it in powerdvd ?

have you tried using media player classic instead of media player ..... much better program .

[peterock]

i converted it to mpeg using TMPGEnc, and it worked fine after that

[BJ_M]

you said it was mpeg to begin with

[peterock]

you're absolutely right
