Strange problem with MP4 files..

[metalheart]

I encountered a very weird problem while trying to convert some videos for an Ipod. I found that my comp refused to play Mp4 videos.

I double-checked for a corrupted video file.. It played nicely on another machine.

I scanned for missing or broken codecs.. This is what I got :

G:\Bleach\124.mp4::Output

I tried playing it with latest versions of VLC, MPC, WMP.. they all give an error.

I'm baffled. Please help me :huh:

 

[psp.kgl]

try with Media Player Classic.......

 

[madmaniac]

Just install klite and it will detect broken codecs and fix it. This happens to me sometimes and I just reinstall klite codec pack which removes previous version and installs again and gives message of broken filters which I agree to remove.

Then Mplayer classic plays mp4 again.
