Codec Problem

[Wetling]

I did some filming with my MiniDV camera, captured it and created an MPEG movie with Pinnacle Studio 7. I then played the resulting movie on my computer (WinXP WMP8) without incident.

When I burned the file (200+MB) to a CD and took it to my fiance's computer (WinXP WMP8), but it wouldn't work. I received the following error.



What can I do?

Forgot to mention that I tried lowering IE6's security setting and I check to make sure this was the latest version of WMP.

When you captuerd the video what codec/settings did you use, you have it installed on yours but not on the other machine?

[Wetling]

I told Pinnacle to capture in full DV quality and then to make the movie (after I'd done the editing) in MPEG mode (DVD compatible I think).

All I can do is assume I have a codec on my machine that isn't on her's, but I don't know how to verify that (where are the installed codecs listed?), and WMP says it's up to date on her's.

Control panel > Multimedia > Devices

Thanks, but that's not an accurate representation of the Control Panel in WinXP (as far as I can see)

mmm, can't help you there, only had XP on for a week

I am sure you will be able to find it, if I tell you where it is within 98

1, Double click my computer
2, double click the control panel
3, double click the Multimedia Icon
4, click the devices (TAB)
5, select video compression codec's

Can you load the mpeg into TMPGEnc or something, that will tell you what codec's are used.
