    I'm having trouble playing mpeg (1) files
    I recenlty did a clean install of XP on my computer and ever since have had trouble playing mpeg files.
    avi and other video formats play without problem.
    When I load an mpg file it takes about 3 minutes to load in my players (both wmp10 and zoom) and the hard drive is very busy the whole time it is loading.
    If I have mpeg one enabled in ffdshow it will play ok after the long time it took to load.
    If I disable mpeg one playback in ffdshow - when I try to play the file in wmp10 I get the message "error downloading codec"

    Can anybody give me some help on this.

    If I render in gspot (which takes an unusually long time) I get the message
    Directshow claims to be able to play the file.
    Mpeg-1 Video Decoder [Video Decoder]
    Video Renderer [Video Renderer]

    Mpeg Audio Decoder [Audio Decoder]
    Default DirectSound Device [Audio Renderer]

    I have tried a range of things - including reinstalling directx 9 and reinstalling wmp10.
    None of these work.

    The entire file seems to be scanned before commencing playback.


    Please help me!!

    fixed the problem up by removing Mainconcept mpeg Encoder 1.51
    However, I need this software. Does anybody know how I cna fix this up and still use the software?

    Remove/lower the merit of whatever Main Concept filter was causing the problem.

    Lowered the merit of the mpeg splitter from Mainconcept and it fixed it up.
    Thanks
