    80040209 error, HELP

    Hi all,

    I have this MPEG file I'd really, really, sincerely like to see, but it won't play... Tested it with Gspot and this is what came out:

    ----Gspot-----
    Status:
    File is MPEG (.MPG/.MPEG/.VOB)

    blah blah...

    DirectShow was unable to play the file. The only information returned is the form of an error message. The full error message is as follows:
    - Error number: 0x80040209
    - Error name: VFW_E_NOT_CONNECTED
    - Full Error Text: The operation cannot be performed because the pins are not connected.
    ----Gspot-----

    What to do?

    Thanks for all your generous help!

    Try playing with a DVD player software, such as PowerDVD.

      fixed

      I fixed the problem...
      The needed codec was InterVideo.

      Salute the lamers who make more and more codecs (based on the original DivX)...
