odd Mpeg issues? CaN U help?

[tomkatt]

Odd. I record an mpeg video on my digital cam.

It goes on the memory stick. I think i have

played these on my laptop. Its not like

my regular video.

 

I think i am missing an audio or video codec.

When i goto play it on my lap top it wont play

in windows media player. ONLY Winamp.

 

I cant convert it with stoik, pinnacle dont

know what it is windows movie maker

says i need a codec and

roxio video wave wont import it.

 

Please if anyone knows where i can

get video or audio codec to get

these to play. Or if its on my laptop

i dont know i swear these use to play.

But now i cant play the video. YET

it says widows media.

 

thanks for any help

Tom - I removed the e-mail address to stop you getting a load of spam (all public boards get trawled by spider bots and you can end up on a spammer's list very quickly

 

However - to find out what codec you need, download and install 'gspot'

Thanks. Now i have a new problem. I use to take my .avi file into movie maker.

Export it. Ok now its wmv file. I take that into roxio. I make a dvd builder.

Save that as an iso. Then use disc copier to copy the iso back

onto a dvd as a dvd movie.

 

Fine. Worked back then. Something with real player messed it all up.

 

Why didnt i just burn the avi in roxio, it doesnt recognize it.

No codec maybe. Why didnt i burn the wmv and not make an iso,

because i get the error code when buring again no idea why.

 

But now i have a real big problem. I cant find a codec

to open the avi at all so movie maker wont convert it,

pinnacle wont and roxio wont inport it at all.

Stoik didnt convert it.

 

I can play it with media player but thats it.

No way to burn it.

 

Can you help me figure out what happen?

 

I tried avi players and even DIVX i cant get

this avi file into another file to burn and

i really need it. I think its so messed up

not having the right codec.

 

Thanks

I need help with the same thing, pretty much. I downloaded a few episodes of a show I wanted. The files were compressed using DIV-x, and both were able to burn to a disc.

 

Then I downloaded the rest of the season, however those were X-vid files. I tried adding those files in to burn on a disc but got an error message:

Could not add thumbnail. Make sure you have appropriate decoder installed. -47010.

 

However I am sure I have the proper decoder installed. The "Help" feature said if I can play the file in Windows Media Player, then I should be able to import it into MyDVD v7.

You'd be better starting a new thread - this one has been moribund since March (and I doubt if any of us can recall what we said back then)
