*.mpg files
What would explain why Windows Media Player 'encounters a problem' when
attempting to play *.mpg files, but Windows Media Center plays those same files with no problem? |

Some ideas here, without copying and pasting them. http://superuser.com/questions/10028...e-avi-mpeg-mp4 If you want FFMPEG, you can get a copy here. Select 32 bit static or 64 bit static, as a function of your OS install. If you have 64 bit Windows 7, you could run either version. http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ I keep my FFMPEG executables in C:\FFMPEG\bin but you can likely think of a better place than that for them (with respect to %path%). I could probably make the path a bit shorter if I put my mind to it. The reason for using the "static" version, is you can move the ffmpeg.exe to where ever you want it, and all its dependencies (DLLs) are inside the main program. The GSPOT program mentioned in the first link, I use that a lot too, to determine what kind of video I've got. But that won't scan the file in all cases. Only certain formats does it do frame analysis (i.e. how many frames between key frames). So if you want to validate a video, without a proper validation tool, FFMPEG is better than nothing. Paul |
