My application opens mpeg4 files. TMediaPlayer doesn't succeed in openenig some of them, though the Window MediaPlayer (6.4 or 9)opens them. Instead, the user of the application gets the message ""cannot find  'vids:MPG4' decompressor". BUT, TMediaPlayer-> Play() does not return any error (it returns Error = 0). 
1) How can I catch this error?
2) Why does this error occur? it does not occur if MPG4DECODER.EXE is run.
