Unknown File Format (MPEG 1)

emiledk · #1 (**permalink**) 11th February 2003

Hi there,
For some weeks I use the excellent player BSPlayer 0.86 (build 493). Yesterday I was able to watch a MPG-file (MPEG 1). Today BSPlayer says: 'Warning: Unknown file format ()' after opening the file. I cannot watch this file anymore (and others MPEG-1 files). However I am still able to see this movie with Winamp, Windows Media Player and some other players. Do you have any idea how this is possible, and more important: what can I do to use BSPlayer agian with these MPG-files. Off course, I did uninstall and install BSPlayer, but this didn't help.
BSplayer is still able to show DIVX MPEG 4 and AVI-files.

I have the same problem. I have WinXP Home on Athlon . All my MPEG (MPEG1 for VCD) files can be reproduced on WMP, opened with VirtualDub, TMPEGEnc and so on, but BSplayer allways says "unknow file format ()".

I don't know, I am not sure, but I think that this was:

After install SP1 of WinXP Home?
After install Canopus Procoder?
Ater install .... ?

Most of my MPEG files can be reproduced on BSplayer in other PC. Has some one a solution? Any idea?

Thanks

Win mediaplayer uses a built-in codec for MPEG1 files. Bsplayer don't. So,if the codecs disapeared from the system, install others. Search for elecard 2 beta.
