When i try watching a mpeg1 video file, say its 20mins long, but with ANY player it show like only 1min or 5min. The video stops and the sound carrys on. The files are not corrupt,they play in other pc'S fine. Recompressing only compresses the amount that a normal player would play.
This is difficult to explain, but im desperate for help. PLEASE help me someone!!!

This sounds like a codec-thing alright..
I managed to fix that sort of problem
by downloading and installing "Nimo"
Can find it with google.

I have that same problem.. I've found that realplayer plays the files back correctly, and my best assumption is that it's because it uses its own codecs?

I got this problem after installing a codec pack from kazaa lite.. Any help is appreciated.
