    Windows Media Player / MPEG Video Compression Corrupt

    I seem to be having some kind of compression issue with MPEG videos.

    Anytime I click on a video file that is .mpg, Windows Media Player will load the video. Upon first clicking the link, it loads but is corrupt with compression artifacts in the picture (and no sound). Then, If I wait a few seconds (seemingly long enough for the video to load) and click the link again, the video reloads and plays perfectly fine, sound and all.

    Here is a screen cap of what I experience upon first loading a video:



    And this is the "Properties" information of a typical video file that does
    this:

    704x384
    1.67:1
    AC3Filter
    MPEG Video Decoder
    http://www."addressoffilenamehere"/1.mpg


    From a functionality stand point this isn't much of an issue as I have rarely ran into a video that wouldn't play after the second click, once the video has a chance to load for a moment. Also, this does not happen with RealPlayer or QuickTime videos. Already tried reinstalling Windows Media Player but to no avail.

    But still, I really would like to know what causes this so I can attempt to eliminate it.

    Thanks!

      The only difference in the streaming issue is that I did update my video driver during the last format of my system. Maybe thats what causes the new compression issue?

        Is there any way if you can find the older driver. Try loading that driver and see if that is the real issue.
