I am using Sonic MyDVD v 6.1.3 to run home movies saved on my system. I have done this with the same software at many times before, I have recently had to rebuild my computer which was infested with viruses, incorporating my original Sonic My Dvd v 6.1.3 software. I have since tried to run these home movies to no avail and get the message 'The software
that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing
the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct
the problem." I have since installed a Sonic DVD decoder pack but still am unable to run movies and get same message
I am at a total loss and would much appreciate any help Mike

===================================
Just guessing...and I'm not a user of Sonic
MyDVD but wasn't that a video editing / DVD
burning program?

I'm unsure why that software would be required
just for viewing the old files unless they were
simply project files that had not been saved
in a video format.

Just wondering...what is the format (extension)
of the movies you are trying to view?

Youre problem(s) probably are with sonic software registration..Have you
checked the status of youre account with them (if one exist),a new license
is needed.....
