I have clip of a band which put onto dvd and it works fine. However when i try to play it on my laptop it says format not recognised. I have uploaded it to the laptop direct form the camera and it plays ok from windows media. Why wont the disc work on the laptop?

I'm guessing your codecs aren't up to date on the laptop.

I have no idea, I just thought it sounded correct.

I had a similar problem, and somehow I managed to update my codecs and it worked fine after that.

I couldn't tell you how I did it though, sorry.

the best bet, though it depends how it was encoded, is to grab the divx codec and xvid code, at www.divx.com and www.xvid.com respectively.

Cheers for that :icon_lol:

The K-Lite codec pack is the answer to all your playback woes.

For some reason I always thought the k-lite pack was non-legal, don't know why.

I think they've had some legal wranglings with Real and Apple in the past but the pack itself is perfectly legal & works better than the proprietary codecs in a lot of cases.

I ended up getting all of these.

Needed them to stream media through Tversity to my xbox/tv. I didn't know which to get so thought i'd just have all of 'em.

Won't cause any problems will it?

Nope you'll be fine, I have them all. Just didn't think it was all above board, but it looks like it is
