Best free mpeg2 decoder?
What is the best free mpeg2 decode/codec that allows mpeg2 files to be
played in windows media player? I have some dell computer that comes with mpeg2 decoder and they work fine. However, I have a home built-pc without mpeg2 decoder and is running XP. I tried one or two free mpeg2 decoder and they crashed. I prefer something small that just decodes mpeg2, not a decoder suite.

BUY either the decoder from www.gocyberlink.com or the one from
www.intervideo.com then you can ensure you have a reliable codec that you can get support for. They are not expensive and may possibly save you hours of crashing/rebuilding/frustration. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "peter" wrote in message ...

Not really.
"Rude" is what you are when you EXPECT everything you can download to be FREE. Do you really expect any quality software to be written if the person investing his/her time into it can't make any $ after doing so? "alan" wrote in message ... How rude!

Wrong. He made no mention of any expectations as far cost is concerned. He
was certainly not "rude," as you were in unnecessarily ridiculing him. He simply was looking for a decent program, and yes there are many offered by folks interested in being of service and not being capitalists to the nth degree. You are the type of "contributor" that makes some forums so unattractive. You may want to consider finding a road a bit more enlightened. "V Green" wrote: Not really.
