Did you encode it as an mpeg2.

If so look on the left panel Other...Tools...Codec and Mpeg2 there is a free codec needed to view mpeg2 with the windows media player.

Just because you posted in the newbie conversion doesn't mean you are a complete newbie so its difficult for me to know your level of expertise.

My first question to you was..... is it an mpeg2? I then said: If so look....

Since you encoded it you must know if you intended to create a vcd (mpeg1) or svcd (mpeg2). The reason I asked that is because if it was an mpeg2 perhaps you were missing an mpeg2 codec. That's a common problem.

You never answered the first question.

Is it an mpeg2?


By the way...

I don't know if you know this but , you can also view mpeg with a software DVD player.

I could ask other questions but lets deal with this first.
