Problems with Playback on Media players

BETOLED · Post by **BETOLED** » Mon May 04, 2009 5:33 pm

I am encountering problems with playback of mpeg2 video files on media players. I tried windows media player (got sound but no picture) tried
WIN DVD 8 (I get black screen and no vid or audio) and finally I tried
VLC Media player ( I get a jerky video picture)
Any ideas as to what I should use. I am shooting in AVCHD and rendering files using mpeg optimizer.

Can you please right click on the mpeg-2 file inside VS -- either in the timeline or the library window -- and copy ALL its properties here.

The properties window will not allow me to copy and paste - there is a lot of info there. I can paste/send a screen shot but apparently the web board does not appear to allow this

No, you can't copy and paste. By copy here we mean actually typing the info.

To post a screen shot the picture you must upload it to the Internet. A free file sharing site will work.

As far as I am aware, WMP will not play AVCHD -- mine cannot even see it if it has either the native .mts or .m2ts extensions. You could try changing the extension to .mpg and it might work...

WinDVD 8 also cannot play it. You would need WinDVD 9 or PowerDVD 8 or 9.
