Using a Sonic brand DVD RW and try to play a recording taken off a TV
program. The prog was burn in the DVD disc and I can see the content, It has
2 files and WMP logo. When I click on the WMP logo, WMP appears but it will
not play saying that I need to open with the prog and because of the codec.
How do I know which codec to download and from where can I download? Thanks
 
What are the files extensions?
