    What about installing Ffdshow (only to decode/read) or Divx; + Xvid codecs? (to read AND compress movies. Be careful: incompatible with ffdshow)

    Ok thats good but ill assume this shrek 2 was a backup of a DVD that you made. I asked where it came from because this forum has strict rules against assisting with piracy!
