Problem With Playing Mpeg-1 Videos

Post by masterofpuppets6115 »

Hi,

i have some music videos in MPEG-1 and want to play them as normal in the Media Player. But it is working for 3-4 days.

seems not to be so easy to understand what's the problem.
If you didn't change something the days after it was working fine, how it doesn't work now?

I open an MPEG-1 File in Windows Media Player. Then the programm starts and is showing "opening medium". But a long video will be opened after minutes or hours, i think. I opened a 3:50 min. file, and it was opened after 10 seconds. So why is it now loading so long?

Before that, i opened the file and then i was played.

Thanks

I would try the winamp too and forget about the WMP. I find that it works much better. :P

Yeah, other programms like PowerDVD and Winamp open the files without any problems.

But I need a big surface to toggle between the movie. Which programm would you recommend?

I took the Windows Media Player. But no the normal one, but the one, which is in the WMP folder (mplayer2.exe). i can pull the surface as big as the monitor is.

PowerDVD does it too. Just click twice on the screen. You'll get full screen mode.

I don´t mean the Video Screen, but the Surface, where you can click from that scene to another scene (forward and backward).
