I downloaded my first TV program this morning (an episode I missed of
the UK BBC1 comedy sitcom 'Outnumbered'). It's a 224 MB file that
GSpot reports without errors as far as I can see. But it won't play in
VirtualDub 1.6.19. I immediately get "Warning: Nothing to output.
Bframe decoder lag"
Then, when I scroll forward I can see the video frames, but when I
tried the Play button again I get: "No audio decompressor could be
found to decompress the source audio format. (source format tag:
0050)"
Yet it plays fine in all my other players (WMP10, PowerDVD, VLC, Nero
ShowTime, etc).
I've posted this in the specialised VirtualDub forum, but maybe
someone here can suggest a likely cause please? Always regarded
VirtualDub as one of my most trustworthy progs!

What format did GSpot have for the video, it appears
to be MPEG. Plain old VDub didn't do MPEG, I use
VDubMod which will input MPEG and there is a VDub-
MPEG available,as well.
A source audio format of 50 is usually AC3.
Ken, 0050 (hex) indicates MPEG-1 Layer I or MPEG-1 Layer II. Dolby
Digital AC-3 is 2000.
Two other commonly found format tags are 0055, which indicates MPEG-1
Layer III or MPEG-2 Layer III, and 0190/2001, which indicates DTS
(Digital Theater Systems).
Luck;
HTH.
