curioustechy · 14-11-2010, 06:35 PM

Years back i had a vga camera and i've taken a lot of pics and videos using that..the videos(avi format) at that time played well in windows media player in XP... now i'm using vista and last day when i tried to see those old videos i couldnt see that in xp (i tried windows media player & vlc player). But when i copied the video to XP which i was running on VM Player, the videos played well...can i play those videos on vista

try using KM player. or install the Vista Codec Pack by Shark 007 (just Google for a sec) & give a try.

try installing k lite codec pack, it can basically play all formats

curioustechy · 23-11-2010, 10:33 PM

klite codec and shark didnt work

**topgear** · 26-11-2010, 05:35 AM

use KM player.

BTW, use a app called Mediainfo GUI - it will give you all the details about your vid files like codec, Bitrate, Aspect ratio etc.

After installing K lite codec pack, right click on the media file select "media info" next post that information here for further analysis

I think there something wrong with the Video Bit rate : Is it 1.137 kbps or 1,137 kbps - regarding your video clip size they are both wrong - there's strong chance that the video clip is corrupted.

BTW, change the font color of your above post.

i tried, hp media player program came along with my laptop, windows media player classic, quick time, vlc, real player,etc...nothing could help... i dont know how its playing flawlessly in xp...i run xp in the same laptop in a virtual machine

**topgear** · 14-12-2010, 06:01 AM

have you install that app correctly - try installing it in compatibility ( select XP ) mode one more time and try playing that video file.

If that's not working uninstall every codec app, run ccleaner ( remove reg and temp file ), download K-Lite Mega codec Pack - Select Advanced Install - Under Profile Selection Select Lots of Stuff - Now scroll down and make sure Indeo 4 and 5 is selected under VFW video codecs. Install K-Lite mega codec pack. AFter installation reboot and try playing your videos with Media Player Classic ( installed with K-Lite ).

well try converting the file to a different format using some popular video converter

**topgear** · 15-12-2010, 04:46 AM

^^ that's a nice idea though he need to convert it in VM Xp where the files are at least playing well.

**Sam** · 15-12-2010, 01:23 PM

^^ why so? i mean he will be converting, not playing. so converting in XP or converting in Win7, will it make any difference? also he can try Linux using live CD.

**topgear** · 16-12-2010, 04:31 AM

in Xp VM he can play those videos so most of the chances are a video converting app will convert it correctly on XP VM and if he converts it into a popular video format with say divx or xvid codec the files can be played using any popular media player ( like KMPlayer, GOMPlayer, Mplayer, VLC, MPC HC etc. )
