MPEG1 Codec problems

[Real]

Ok, this has come as a suprise. Ive never had issues with the videos here, till a little awhile ago. I do not remember what triggered it, but I can no longer play certain video files - one included is the one you guys use, MPEG1.

 

I get audio, with no video.

 

Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several different codec packs. Ive upgraded to WMP11. Nothing has worked. Ive reinstalled video drivers, etc.

 

Ive even tried several other forums and newsgroups trying to find an answer. There has to be something missing or some fix as to why WMP will not recognize those codecs I KNOW I have installed.

 

 

Any known fixes?

Download the VLC media player and try that to play videos. I gave up on WMP a long time ago because it seems like it will sometimes not recognize already installed video codecs. Since going with VLC, I don't think I've ever come across a video that I can't play. Hope this helps.

Well, Im sure itll work because Ive used other players and it then works.

 

Im going to try VLC. I really just like using WMP because I like having as few programs as possible to do certain tasks. If its as versatile as it says it is, maybe Ill stick with it.
