I have two computers running XP and having MP9 installed. On the one I can play mpg2 (SVCD) in MP but not on the other. That is - it plays upsidedown on the other. I know I some time ago installed something on the one PC in order to fix this. But I've searched and searched but can't find it or remember what is was. Anybody know the solution?

Thanks!

It seems that there is lack of mpeg2 codec.
Instal VLCplayer and be independent of M$ system.

Why is it SO often, that people doesn't answer the question asked??:devil: You see that all the time:angry:

Well I try again: Does anybody remember/know what to install on XP to make WMP play mpeg2/SVCD? And I'm NOT asking for player recommendations - I have a lot of other players that works just fine, and do not bother to tell you why I then want it to play in WMP...

Well yes - I have reread it. But what codec is it - where can I get it? I've searched, but can't find any that works...

***EDIT***

I found a freeware MPEG-2 codec, that actually solved my problem (and a related problem as well!). So thanks!

Can you render it properly in GraphEdit? Does it play upside down in that too? Seems like a inproper MPEG2 codec installation. Try installing a DVD Player like WinDVD which will install a decent MPEG2 decoder.

*Edit:* Glad you have sorted of the problem.

I'm using a couple (video and audio) of dshow filters by Nvidia.
Not sure where I got them from,
but it's just two files - nvauddec.ax and nvviddec.ax and a couple of BAT files to register and unregister them.
As soon as these files are registered, mpg2, svcd and dvd will play.

I've got them in a common location, and access them from windows 98
and windows 2000 (dual boot) works great.
