MPEG video files do not play in MP (1 Viewer)

[sito]

HI, I am a newbee here, so I hope you can forgive me if I am asking something that has widely answered.

I am trying to configure MP on my PC. I can watch the AVI video files recorded with some digital photo cameras, but not the MPEG. What can I do? Thanks

Do you have a software DVD program installed?


Best to fill out a support template as well.

Yes, I have PowerDVD

What particular type of MPEG are these files? 1, 2, 4? Where did the files come from? What program do you open them with outside of Media Portal?

Are they MPEG4 files? What applications do they play in outside of MediaPortal? As SiLenTYL mentioned, FFDShow lets you play pretty much any file type in Windows Media Player, and therefore in MP.

Finally, changing the video codecs I was able to made them work in MP. But thanks for everything. I am still learning.
