Switched recently to Ulead Video Studio 10 Pro to edit the captured TV programs for our video streaming system here at school. Everything seemed to be fine initially, but we've recently discovered that the MPG files we're generating (MPG1, 352x288, PAL, 1900 kbps video, 128 kbps MP2 audio) that stream fine thru to the dedicated set-top boxes in the classrooms wouldn't play on the web-based viewer (uses an embedded Windows Media Player 10 screen). Not sure why, but the videos always seem to be VBR too (from GSpot), even when we use the CUSTOM mode and manually set the video to CBR mode???

Sure enough, trying to open them directly in WMP10 gives a "Player might not support the filetype or might not support the codec used to compress the file". On machines with ULead installed it'll play fine though! Does Ulead install it's own MPG decoder? Procoder & TMPGEnc both produce files that work okay with the default Microsoft decoder.

Can someone with ULead confirm this for us??
