Re: How to playback "Magic of Flight.mpg"?

You could always just buy the DVD. It will play fine and the wmv will play
fine in Media player 10.
It sounds like you have some file captured from streaming video site that
may not be playable in a stand alone player as a file.
It is designed for protected content and may be encrypted.

Hello!
I downloaded "Magic of Flight.mpg". MS Windows XP SP2 Media Player
writes that it does not have a codec to playback the file. GSpot
does
not show the codec too.
How to playback the file?
Best regards,
D

You need windows Media player 9.0 or later. here is a link for
Version
10http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/default.aspx

It has the windows media WMV 9 players as well as AVC1. Not sure
what
codec they used on Magic of flight. But if it is HD then it is
probably
one
of the above..

Thanks Courtney for your reply!
The file is not mpeg 2, mpeg 1 or WMV. The .mpg is an incorrect
extention, because WinDVD is installed and MS Windows XP sp2 Media
Player 10 does not playback the file.
The quick time was and is installed. It writes "Error -2048: the file
is not a movie file".
VLC plays the video, but with vertical pink stripe at right of the
video
screen.
How to make Roxio easy DVD creator 9 convert the video to DVD-video,
because it writes that there is still no codec for the video?

The original is in WMV for HD. So this must be a bootleg copy.
Try changing the extension to .wmv and see what happens when you try to
play
it in Media player 10

Thanks Courtney for your suggestion!
Changing the file extention to wmv does not change the Windows Media
Player 10 behaviour.
VLC media player shows that the video codec is mpgv. Does VLC
determine the codec correctly? How to install the mpgv codec only?
I installed UltraEdit-32. The find command finds 00 and .. by
searching for WMFSDK.
The Codec field is blank in the Gspot. The Container is "File Type:
MPEG-2 Transport Stream
Mime Type: video/mp2t".
Best regards,
Dima
