Hello!
I was having problems with Windows Media Player v6.4 and 9.0 (10
didn't help) in playing back MPEG-2 files I made from my new
Air2PC-ATSC-PCI HDTV tuner
(http://www.bbti.us/products_air2pc_atsc_pci.htm) and DVB Viewer
v4.3.2 (using Sonic CinePlayer DVD Decoder). The outputs were the
videos and audios in very slow motion. Playing my recordings in
WinDVD 6 and PowerDVD 5 didn't show these symptoms. Media Player
Classic v6.4.8.7 and VideoLAN Client Media Player v0.8.4a seem to
use their own MPEG-2 decoders which suck (e.g., choppy [not slow
motion] and show pixels (refresh problem?). I am using Windows XP
Pro. SP2 (all updates) on an Athlon 64 3200+ system with 1.5 GB of
RAM.
I was told to try mpeg2dmx.ax file from someone into Windows'
system32 folder/directory (never had this file since Windows
Explorer didn't overwrite an old copy), register it, and try again.
I tested both Windows Media Players and they worked smoothly! I
asked where this file came from, and he said it was from Elecard. I
never used their products on this computer.
Are there any other sources where this file come from? Is XP
supposed to include it? I have had Windows XP installation for over
three years.
Thank you in advance. :)
