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!!
