Hi all, I have looked around for a solution to this for a while but havent had any luck.
I have downloaded a Hi-Def file but i have been unable to get it to play, a guide on here (and various other sites) say VLC should do it but it isnt for me.
Im not too hot when it comes to codecs, splitters, filters etc but i know i dont want a codec pack, i normally just find which codec i need then get that one but I have only managed to find out which codec an AVI file is using not TS.
I have tried various codecs and players etc (eg. Haali, Zoom Player, VLC Player, WM Player, GOM Player, ffdshow, DScaler 5) with no luck and have been uninstalling them after failure but im still worried this could be a conflict issue, i have a prog called dxman which tells you which codecs you have installed and you can enable/disable/uninstall but im not sure which ones i need so have left it alone but can show you what it says i have if you need it.
Oh and apologies if ive posted in the wrong place.
Thanks.
Darren.
UPDATE: I just tried rendering the file with gSpot, it worked, it said to use ffdshow for audio and video.
So i uninstalled all the codecs I had been messing with and reinstalled ffdshow, now it doesnt play... and it doesnt render...

yes i believe it is an mpeg2
i did as you said i had 2 options to set for mpeg1 and mpeg2 in ffdshow (libavcodec and libmpeg2) i tried them both but no luck.
UPDATE: I managed to get video working, I installed Haali Splitter and WMP11, had no audio so installed AC3Filter, I now have audio but it goes out of sync.
Is AC3 the wrong filter to use?
I don't see the video listed, but there's nothing unusual about the audio.
VLC should be playing it ok - but you could try Media Player Classic - it doesn't install any extra codecs.
Failing that, then try Video Redo, it has a 'Tools' tab where you can elect to repair a transport stream (QuickStream Fix).
