Can't open video_ts file?

[labecs]

I've been doing this for ages and now for some reason I can't get it to work. I normally get DVD's of videos I work with, and what I do is copy the video_ts file onto my desktop and use MPC to watch it from there, but since I reformatted my computer, whenever I want to start the video, I can see the preview in the Windows Explorer window, but when I try to open it I only get the audio portion of it. I have ffdshow installed and everything looks fine according to me. What am I missing? It works fine with WMP.

Wouldn't hurt to try this one:

http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/about-homepage.html

It may give a dialog about downloading some directx stuff. I downloaded its suggestions and it seem to work well.

Also VLC media player will play VIDEO_TS folders. I just add it to the SendTo menu.
