Hey guys,
Ok this is my problem. I cannot play any movies with .m2v extensions. I need all the info i can get to start playing those movies.
The player that i have is Windows Media Player that can play everything else but those annoying .m2v files.
I need some info on how to update my player.
oh yeah and also, what is this codec i've been reading about everywhere???
I would really appreciate any replies... |

Goto the video page on the main page click here
Then download the porgram that swamper recomends, the Elecard MPEG2 player, works for me!

Works for me, cant think of why it wouldnt work.
Did u restart your pc after you installed the player and codec? may make it work

[EDIT] Try clicking on the 'help' menu then the 'Check for player upgrades'[/EDIT] |

yeah mine doesnt work with WMP either. get the elegcard player or whatever, its somewhat annoying, but better than WMP anyways...late/ |

In the end, WMP did not work, and I downloaded the other suggested player, but the movies were running in "slow-motion"...
Better get more RAM I guess.
Thanks for your help guys... |

Ok i went through this problem...so i know what u mean with M2V videos...
I used Elecard but i think that player is garbage.....personally now i use the original WMP (Windows media Player)....it loads quicker and picture is fine and easy to use....not that any of them are hard..but u know what i mean...
but using the codec with Elecard sucks if u wanna warch movies in WMP...mine would either skip frames/pause or just play weird...so someone...and i forgot who gave me a site..which i also forgot...where you can get a codec for M2V or MPEG2 videos....i got it and now it works PERFECT....
so whoever needs this codec lemme know and i will email it to you...its zipped up and like 120k...real small....and it WORKS....
this will end ALL your problems..... |
