There could be anti-piracy coding on it so you can't copy it (I know you weren't about to do that, now, were you?).  When you try to play it on PC, it simply tells the programs to not function properly.

Yeah sounds very much like a codec issue.\n\ngoto http://www.divx.com and download the free player.\nThat should sort out a lot of common playback issues.

Try playing the file(s) in vlc (http://www.videolan.org).  This will play almost anything.\n\nYou say you have all the updated codecs, but it still sounds like you're missing something.  Try getting the Gordian Knot codec pack at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Gordian_Knot_Codec_Pack.htm\n\nIf it still doesn't play, then maybe there's a problem with the files themselves (did you download these files?).  Good luck :)

If I recall correctly, Gabest Media Player Classic should support whatever your Windows Mesia Player supports.\n\nTry updating to 6.4.9.0 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358&release_id=403110\n\nIf that does not help, you may need to get a different codec pack or reinstall MPC (I know it can support MPEG-4 - I've played MPEG-4 movies with MPC). You could also try the Windows port of mplayer - http://www.mplayerhq.hu/

Windows Media can be a bit temperamental at times.  Try one of these:\n\n1. Update your codecs (http://www.cole2k.net/?display=Codec-Pack-Advanced) or download the latest Windows Media Player codecs from microsoft.com\n\n2. Upgrade to Windows Media Player 11\n(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx)\n\n3. Download VLC player - This is an excellent media player that plays almost all video file formats:  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/\n\nGood Luck!

I can't give you a serious answer, so here's a funny one:\n\nDon't use Windows Vista.  DRM'd all to hell.\n\nOn the other hand, I had no success at getting Windows XP MCE to work with my existing PCI tv tuner.  I had to buy a new one that was PCIe.  So, you might check that.

By special software...like nero i thin..but you don't need to do that. Every DVD player will read also VCD. And with remaking to DVD - it can loss a quality

download 'VLC media player' Its probably some stupid codec problem or whatever. \n\nwww.filehippo.com and then search for it. Once you have it its the easiest, simplest thing to use.

Hi,\n\nWhat I would suggest for your issue is to download the VLC software. It's great and already has all the codecs you need. I'm using it and every-time I've got a video to watch It works with that latter.\n\nSo you can go to : http://www.download.com (and search for "VLC") and click on the latest one : "VLC Media Player".\n\nThere you go !!! Have a nice day.\n\nMichael.

That depends on the player you want to play it on.  You'd have to create a VCD (Video CD) using Nero, Roxio or any other creator type program.  That being said, it won't work on all players, I can't even guarantee it will work on all modern players because not even all the new ones support VCDs.  I'd say go out and get yourself a DVD burner, you can get them online for about $40, it'll come with the software you need, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827101642 it even has Lightscribe which will allow you to label a lightscribe enabled disc.  I'm no fan of VCDs, they're little better than VHS tapes.\n\nI should note that it is possible to create a DVD on your computer compatible with all modern players, those that are older, circa pre-2000, 2001 probably won't play a DVD created on your computer but all newer players will.

what you need to do is download GSpot, and after installing it, open the file with GSpot (sounds dirty but I promise you its not, its a codec information applicance) and it will tell you what codecs you need to download.  Windows will not be able to play the files without the proper codecs or they will not play propertly.
