Hi

The video plays in WMP but not in my app. How can I fix this. When I use 
TMediaPlayer in delphi I get the following message Video not available, 
cannot find 'vids:MPG4' decompressor.

Thanks


Dolf

If WMP works but not other player(s), WMP must have the
codec wrapped within.

Search Google for an MPG4 or MPEG4 codec. Once installed
your player should work. Please let me know, OK?

TMediaPlayer and WMP use different frameworks so just because a video 
will play in WMP is no guarantee that it can be made to work in 
TMediaPlayer. TMediaPlayer uses the MCI while WMP uses [it's successor] 
DirectShow.

If you want to use TMediaPlayer with this type of video the I'd say your 
best bet is to get a codec info tool like GSpot 
(http://www.headbands.com/gspot) or MediaInfo 
(http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net) find out the codec you need then get 
see if there is a MCI or VFW or VCM version of it.

cheers, harrie
