    I'm assuming it must be a codec issue? m4v videos were playing fine on my system not long ago, i dont know what would have changed? How would I go about resolving this? where can I get a specific m4v codec? Its gotta be something simple.. i'm having a dumb moment.

    Is this from a file that doesn't play? If so, as a comparison post the details of a file that's playable.

    What program are you using to play the videos?

    OK, reinstalling Haali codec pack I was able to get all my m4v files playing except one. The Gspot analysis looks the same as the others too me?

    PLaying on VLC and streaming to PS3.

    anyways here is the Gspot of the problem video(i get no errors it just wont play)

    Just as a side note, you might want to use MediaInfo, rather than GSpot, to get information on the .m4v files. GSpot's support for video containers other than AVI/.divx or .MPEG/.mpg is rather limited.

    Also, if you use MediaInfo in Tree View, you can simply just cut-and-paste the information here. Easier than attaching 1833x1069 GSpot screenshots at 263kb.

    I can't see anything in particular that might be causing problems, although Gspot doesn't display all information about the video file. If you follow Ai Haibara's suggestion; open a broken file and a working file with MediaInfo, select View>Text and copy the details here.

    It looks like both videos were converted with HandBrake, so it's a mystery why one isn't working.
