Hi. I know that the .mpg format is supposed to be played by WMP. but this movie apparently is not formatted the way WMP likes it to be and coughs up this message when I try to play this particular movie: Windows Media Player does not support this file type
Error ID = 0x80040265, Remedy ID = 0x00000000
So the movie was encoded by a codec that is not supported by WMP. But how to find out what is needed is the issue. I tried to be clever and use the GSpot Program to see if it could tell me but it gives me the exact same message. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated (and I cannot ask the person who encoded the movie cause it was downloaded over the net using a p2p program). Thanks for any help.
