Here is a link from Microsoft explaining about why it's media player
does not play MPEG2 videos without extra software. If you computer
came preloaded with Roxio, or Intervideo you may not be aware of the
problems as the extra codecs are loaded with them. If you load
windows clean and stock your DVD Player does not automatically play
these files. On the Microsoft site there are 4 links in particular
where you can get the extra codecs, but note, none of them are free...

So, if anyone is interested in learning about these issues here is
the paragraph, and the link:

And here is a clip of the paragraph:


However, MPEG-1 system streams do not exclusively use the .mpg and
.mpeg extensions. MPEG-2 program streams also frequently use .mpg
and .mpeg file extensions, but they contain MPEG-2-encoded video.
Because Microsoft Windows operating systems provide only an MPEG-1
video decoder, Windows Media Player cannot play MPEG-2 program
streams without an additional MPEG-2 video decoder (also known as a
DVD decoder pack) installed. For more information about purchasing
DVD decoder packs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Just more MS "features".

There are tons of free players out there.

I like GOM Player myself.


Ssshhhhh - don't ruin it. He's learning new words - unfortunately, he
hasn't learned the defnitions yet.

It's like CODEC sounds so cool and stuff and you can use it in
semi-literate conversations with semi-literate morons who don't have a
clue - makes you sound smart.

By comparison.


Wow, what got up your ass? I am not the one working on this, my wife is.
Sorry we are not up to your standards, and yet, you still have not
given us any intelligent answers, only troll posts..


Oh, btw, I have been real sick lately, we got robbed, the wife is having
medical problems, want to kick us around for that too? I don't know what
your problem is, I have always been decent to you. Just because I don't
understand something you do you got to be a jerk, get over yourself Tom...
