Hi, Started noticing this weird problem. I am having problems viewing certain video files with Media Player (currently running 11 but I've rolled back to 10 & then 9 and the problem still exists). The funny thing is, is that the files WILL play in Media Player Classic just fine. I have all the latest codecs but can't figure this out. It's not certain format either - if i load 2 MPEGS into Media Player, same .MPEG extension, one will play and the other will not. It just brings up the first frame and nothing...no audio either. However, both of these files will play in Media Player Classic. Hopefully i explained this well enough - anybody got any usefull advice? Thanks,
MPC has a built in mpeg splitter, MPEG-2 decoder and mpeg audio decoder. WMP on the otherhand uses whatever dshow filters that you have installed.
I do not think you are only one who had this problem. I did the same. #10 was working, as soon as a I updated to 11 it did not play some files. I rolled back to 10, but that did not work any more either. I think #11 messed up something in setup permanently. Now I use Nero or PowerDVD player. You can update from there site through Windows, but it cost about $11. I think its a deal with Microsoft.
