Playback of certian rendered Codecs
HMMM, an office PC with XP and Windows MEdia 10 player reports it does not have the codecs to play back an MPEG2 file rendered in Vegas 6 with MainConcept codec for DVD NTSC choice and advanced settings for progrsseive scan instead of fielded.
The Windows Media Player page does not have the decoder codec either for download. Where can I get it? Is it in a folder on my editing machine?
Thanks

MPEG2 is not a codec packaged with WMP. You’re probably used to looking at DVD or MPEG2 content in WMP, but the codec would have come from WinDVD or PowerDVD or one of the other DVD players commonly packaged with DVD drives, especially with OEM bundles. Now that (almost) all PCs are sold with DVD players with bundled software for viewing, this usually isn’t an issue.
Assuming that you’ve seen this file work on other machines, the playback PC needs a codec.

Thanks, that is the right track. You are right, it is an issue that the ofice PC does not have a DVD drive.
I downloaded and tried Elecard DVD Player as I have always had very good luck with it’s video quality. I was not happy with the playback here. The audio was sluggish as if there was a sample rate issue.
