I extracted the MPG file out of a BIN file with isobuster and i cant seem to play it. I think i may need a codec but i am not sure, if anyone can help me with this that would be great.
If this is a VCD Bin file then you do not need any special Decoders to Play it as Media Player has a Built in Mpeg1 decoder...The file just might be Corrupted...
Then open the file on the disc with a media player that will play DVD-format (MPEG2) files, like PowerDVD.
This is the important part as it will not play in something like Windows Media Player (at least it didn?t for me and I had all the necessary codecs installed) even though the file has an MPEG extension!
I could play my original DVD discs using Windows Media Player but not downloaded BIN video files that I extracted and burned to disc.
If you try to simply extract the BIN file to your hard drive then try to play it with a program like PowerDVD, it won't play.
First of all, I would like how did you "extract" a MPEG. If its name is AVSEQ01.MPG and it comes from the D:\MPEG2 directory, it's a 'ripped riff file' and NOT a 'True .MPG'.
You should convert it to a 'true MPEG', first (I use VCDEasy-->Tools--->MPEG Utilities--> Cdxa2mpeg). Probably there's a similar command in the freeware VCDGear, but I have a registered version of VCDEasy and I never learned to use VCDGear.
Second, last WMP can play the 'ripped riff files', but maybe you have an old version of a player.
Third, after you converted the 'ripped riff file' into a 'True MPG' you can make a SVCD (with VCDEasy, for example, or with watever you like) but, unless you have the M2V codec for TMPGEnc, NOT a VCD, because by default TMPGEnc can only load MPEG-1 files, not MPEG-2 files.
Read the 'sticky' thread to learn how to do it.
