I cannot play a .mpg media file althogh I installed a K-lite Basic codec pack. The same file is correctly played with windows media player classic application. How to do to make it work with vlc too?

Posted: **28 Jul 2010 02:08**

VLC doesn't use external codecs such as K-Lite.

What version of VLC are use using (current latest is 1.1.1). What are the codecs used in the file (in VLC go to "Tools >> Codec Information" when video is playing)?

Arite.

I'm using the latest version (1.1.1.). Codec information:

Code: Select all

Stream 0:
        Type: Audio
        Codec: MPEG Audio layer1/2/3 (mpga)
        Channels: Mono
        Sample rate: 32000 Hz 
        Bitrate: 224 kb/s

Stream 1:
        Type: Video
        Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv)
        Resolution: 320x240
        Frame rate: 25

Does VLC complain something?

Does VLC complain something?

I'm not sure about what you mean, but I think not.. It just opens the first frame and nothing else happens..

Open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before playback.

Have you tried to remux the MPG file?

Posted: **30 Jul 2010 13:40**

Have you tried to remux the MPG file?

I don't even know how to do..

Posted: **31 Jul 2010 16:27**

Mencoder is one tool you can use
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=71582&p=236862&hil ... er#p236862

TMPGenc can also do the trick (File -> MPEG Tools... and demultiplex and then multiplex)

Posted: **31 Jul 2010 17:47**

Why can't VLC run that file without remuxing? If I have the necessity to use mencoder or other similar programs in addition to VLC to open some .mpg files, that's the same thing of using windows_media_player classic for that kind of file, but I'd like to use a single complete video player for all.

Posted: **02 Aug 2010 13:24**

VLC cannot parse all broken files correctly.

Posted: **02 Aug 2010 13:41**

Ok, but if the file is correctly played with another player (in this case with wmplayer), doesn't it mean that the file is not broken?

Posted: **03 Aug 2010 16:15**

If you remux with mencoder, it will complain if the input file has issues. WMP can handle some broken files better than VLC.
