i think i just need to reinstall the codecs, but i cant find any downloads for it except for freebsd.........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! mpeg 1 codec needed HELP!!!!!!!!!

do mpeg 1 codecs actually exist any more? would have thought they're just built in with windows or something.

well ive no idea what files to pull off the install disk

mpeg 1 comes with all media players past version 3...just reinstall mdedia player and it'll do the rest

well nat, that worked for most of em, thanx

or maybe its association issues

did u install quicktime recently or did this prob start now?? usually those media programs hijack ur file association when u install them

no, thats not what i meant death,i meant that on my computer, quicktime is the only media player capable of playing mpeg videos

media player 9 would prolly be most obvious solution to most probs, xcept for 3rd party codecs like divx/xvid.
wmp has caused me the odd problem before, only yesterday i installed adobe premiere 7 and it screwed it media player, everything displayed mentally. had to reinstall wmp and get rid of premiere.
