    Playing Mpeg2 files with Matrox PC-VCR

    Does any know if the Matrox PC-VCR can play Mpeg2 files? I have rendered some clips from Mjpeg-->Mpeg2 using the Ligos transcoder. At one point in time, I was able to use the Matrox PC-VCR to play these files but I had to reformat my hard drive and after I reinstalled everything, that function was lost and I can't use the Matrox remote to play the Mpeg2 files anymore. Windows Media Player can play them but I don't like using it since it does not have a playlist function. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    If you've reloaded your system from scratch you've probably lost your MPEG2 codec. Try installing the latest Mediaplayer and you should find that it updates the codec "list" which should make MPEG2 available to PC-VCR again

      Hi,

      I tried reinstalling the latest Windows Media Player (version 6.4) and still didn't work. I even tried reinstalling the matrox Video tool 1.51 as well. The Matrox PC-VCR is still not picking up the Mpeg2 files. What's strange is that the Windows Media Player can play them without any problems and as far as I know, the PC-VCR uses the Windows Media player to play video files so there's no reason why the PC-VCR wouldn't work. Any other suggestions??

        Hi,

        Had the same problem!
        What I did: Install Matrox DVD Player
        (it installs cinemaster drivers)

        Then use Media player (in accesoires) NOT Windows medai player!

        If you have some luck, you'll see a Cinemaster Device and you'll be able to play mpeg2 with it. not PC_VCR!!

        5PS you also can try the eval version of powerdvd2.5...)

          Correction - Windows Media Player V6.4 it does have a playlist function. Make a file in which you list the files to play:

          file_number_1.avi
          file_number_2.avi
          file_number_3.mpg
          file_number_4.qt
          etc...

          Exactly like a Winamp playlist.

            Hi,

            Can you clarify for me exactly how you can create a playlist for the Windows Media Player then? I tried but go nowhere. Thanks
