Problem playing back captured MPEG 2 files HELP ?

[Hollywood H0gan]

Well Ive finally installed Catalyst 3.9 drivers and ATI Multimedia player
8.7 for my Athlon PC and older Radeon 64mb DDR TIVO card.
Capturing is beautiful and smooth and I am saving to MPEG2 format.
..
HOWEVER, when I try to play back an MPEG2 file I save to my hard drive with
ATI player I am getting the following error message:- Rmanager unable to
playback file or something similar.
Also WM player 9.0 and Realone player wont play the file either.

Any ideas anyone ?

Try using a DVD player like PowerDVD. If it's a VBR MPEG-2 file, then
most standard players won't be able to play it at all. If all else
fails, you may need to reencode it. Go to vcdhelp.com if you need help
doing that.
