  1. im trying to convert these WMV files and TMPEG wont open them, but it will open this other WMV low quality file. the ones that wont open have a bitrate of 1986 kb/s each and the other that will open is 705 kb/s. i think its because of some new technology or something involving WMP like version 7.1 or something like that. anyone know what to do to make it work?

    Windows Media Player and DirectX are now up to Version 9 and yes, some of the codecs have changed so that the latest encoded videos may not be backward compatible.

    You will probably need to upgrade to WMP9 (or you can try just updating to the Version 9 codecs which are downloadable from the MS website).

    But a warning - WMP9 may upset older applications so make sure you set a restore point first.
