Cannot play an mpeg movie file. Need codec. Can you help.
I've tried updating windows media player and no updates
are available. Thanks.

Most likely it's an MPEG-2 file. you will need to buy a software DVD player
to obtain that codec.

Hi Dennis

Where did you get the file from?

I got the file from my Sony GIGA Pocket recording.
Then converted it to MPEG. Plays on home PC but not on my
laptop. Need it to play on my laptop.

Yes it is a MPEG-2 file. Where can I get it and what kind
of software is it?

PowerDVD and WinDVD are the two most popular.

What did you convcert the file with at work? Thats what you would need to
install at home to have the same codec.
