dreamscene

i have recently purchased a laptop with vista ultimate installed. after
updating and downloading dreamscene. i also find that dreamscene says it
cannot decode the mpeg files but is quite happy to play wmv. the mpeg videos
play ok in media player. i have ultimate on my desktop and dreamscene on that
works perfectly. the only difference is that i have nero on my desktop and it
supplies the mpeg decoder in media center. my question is, is the problem
caused by mpeg decoders and can anyone at microsoft tell me were to obtain a
free decoder that works with dreamscene. thanks
ps i have tried to reinstall dreamscene and still the same

Try the vista.music_pictures_video ng for folks familiar with codecs.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a reply from an MS employee here. This is
a public ng mostly populated with "regular folk." The odd MS person makes an
appearance once in a blue moon.

hi
i have solved this myself. i installed nero7 which installs its mpeg
decoder. the dreamscene mpegs now work so if any one can only get dreamscene
to work with wmv and not mpeg then its a decoder problem. install a third
party mpeg decoder like nero.
