Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "m2v1" (No description for this codec)

Postby Skylaw » 19 Nov 2023 22:34

Hi,

I would like to play some old movie from many years ago on my PC. But I get this error: Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "m2v1" (No description for this codec)

I can only ear the sound.
Can someone help me please?

Thank you,

Here is a workaround that I've not tried because I don't have any of these files:

Always work on a copy of your original file! Never on the original file!
