Here are the properties of a movie transfered from a Viewsat FTA PVR 7000 Receiver to my PC (properties given by VideoReDo Plus):

Is there a way to play this kind of movie on a computer ? I have tried without success: Windows Media Player v10, Media Player Classic 6.4.9, Nero Showtime 3, Real Player v 10, QT, BS Player 2, DivX Player 6.6, VLC 0.8.6 (on both Mac & PC) ?

I've also installed K-Lite Codec Pack without success.

So far, VideoReDo Plus is the only software with which I can open & play properly this kind of movie file.

Is there also a way to convert such a mpeg file into AVI file ?

With all my thanks

What information does Gspot provide on the file?


VideoReDo was designed for opening, editing, and converting these types of files. You could simply use it save the file in a proper format.

Here it is. Media Player Classic freezes after a few seconds & no sound.

Doesn't look like the file uses a normal audio format...at least there isn't one listed. Most likely that is what is causing your players to choke.

FWIW, files taken directly from DVR's/Tivo's etc usually require conversion before they are capable of playback on any device.
