Hi Brian.

The 4cc says 'n.a'.

Doing the view, database, video, i get a big list but i'm not sure which one of the list i want?

sorry for being so dumb.

edit: 'Stream type and A/V interleave' says 'Type: Video/Mpeg'

Well, at least that confirms that the file is mpeg of some kind.

The easiest way to solve this now, I think, would be to run GSpot on your sister's or friend's computers, hit "render", and see what codec chain it uses for video. That will identify the piece that you're missing.

Excellent, cheers man

Just install a (demo) DVD player software like Power/WinDVD.
This will install the necessary MPEG2 filters that should allow
playback of the file.
