MPEG4...

[Sparks!]

I've got a video that someone has posted me, in MPEG format..

I can't get it to play at all

I've downloaded the latest realplayer, divx (both meant to play MPEG!!) tried windows media player, installed codec updates (that are mean't to support MPEG) but still it won't play...

Also tried another computer with Quicktime and that tried to play it, heard the sound in the background, a bit distorted but no video or anything!!

Any ideas before I go mad? I can't figure out why the fook it won't play despite downloading the correct software?

MP4's work on my P800 phone, though that is probably as helpful as a chocolate teapot right now.....

You could check GSpot, which you can run to check what codecs the video file is using in case you don't have them. Other than that, i'm a bit stumped

Hope it helps

Have you got the XviD codec? Similar to DivX (obvioulsy) as it is MPEG4, but you'll need this codec if it was encoded with it

Its probably MPEG-2 Codec which isnt included in the latest windows media player or the divx bundles

However u can download it from here:

https://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

After installing that pack u should be able to play 99% of all movies.

When installing you have to specifically chose that u want to install MPEG-2 codec. I find that 'Elecard / Elecard' works best for me.
