Everyone that had problems,

Please tell me:

1) What OS and version you have..

2) What viewer you were using...

As I mentioned, I had no problems at home where I encoded it (Win 2000 default load). At work I got NT 4.0 SP6 and its a no-go!! Unkown format....

I'll try to figure it out, but It definitely is something with the kotex..er..codec that causes the problems.

Thanks

Brian K

Tried it on Windows NT at work, don't think I got a chance to download it at home(Win98). Brian, you wouldn't have a problem with it at home if that's the computer that created the video, if it writes it, it can read it. Not sure which card you have but the one I got defaulted to some codec that I'm sure they designed for their card. Thing was is that I had the same problem you had, mine read it fine, nobody else could watch it. Dug around in the settings and found they had a selection of 15 different codecs, 6 being Microsoft, 2 Intel, and a bunch I've never heard of. Through trial and error I've found the Microsoft MPEG 4 Video Codec V2 to be compatible with most players. I've only had one person complain about them not playing. Now if I can get damn Geocities to work I'd be in business . Hope this helps. Worked all nite so I'm hittin the sack, wanna see an 11 second run when I get up .

I have WinME, PIII 500, 128 megs ram. I used Real Player, Media Player, Animation shop 2, even tried Canon Video 1.6, but get the same error.

 

Win98 SE, Windows Media Player V7. (About a bazillion different codecs including DIVX)
WinNT 4, SP6a, Windows Media Player V7.
"Invalid Media type" on both

its windows media player 7 that messes things up, unfortunatly their are lots of movies that require it

 

Here is Microsoft KB article number on installing codecs. Article ID: Q142731

Worked fine for me, win98 and media player. Thats all I know.

 

Win 95 - Media Player 6.4 - I get:
Win 98 - Media Player 7 - I get some Codec error.

Spent a bunch of time on MS support site... totally worthless... did everything they said, still didn't work.

 

Tundra, do you have Ulead VideoSuite installed also?

I think the missing codec may be Ligos' GoMotion LSX-MPEG4 encoder. I comes with Ulead VideoSuite and MediaSuite as well as another few video editing utilities.

I'm going to go download a trial of video suite and see if I can play it.

I got an "invalid media type".

Win 98
Media Player V7 and Creative Playcenter

 

I got the sound only. I saved it to my drive. When I opened it no picture. Then I right clicked and opened ....presto. Picture.
Maybe it's a zip file and not noted as same. Man that looks quick.
