    Mpeg playback problem

    Hi there guys!
    i have this video file which is an mpeg and it doesnt open up in any of the video players it just says format unknown..but i am able to view the file in vlc or other preview client so means the codec is installed on my computer and that the file is not corrupted. I dont know lotta tools for mpeg files and i dont know if mpeg ACTUALLY had multiple codecs.

    what can I do to fix it?? ny suggestions will be appreciated
    Thanks a bunch.

      vlc uses it's own codecs to play video files. d/l Avicodec and load your video file into it and Avicodec will tell you if the necessary video and audio codec is installed on your system.
