vcd troubles!!!!!!!!

[dopefish]

I have a vcd which seems to have something against windows nt based systems. Whenever i watch the video in windows media player version 6, 7 and 8 it kicks this error out at me,


An error occurred while playing the file. (Error=80070001)


but its only occured on win2k and xp with winme it has no troubles and just skips the errors or something.

can anyone help me??

Hiya

I've had a search on the web, and the only thing that comes up is one page:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=An+error+occurred+while+playing+the+file.+(Error%3D80070001)&hl=en&rnum=1&selm=3WEkJe%24Y4l%40bbs.EE.NCTU.edu.tw&oe=Big5

Where is the VCD from? Is it an original? Was the error number exactly 80070001?

Don't know if the latest codecs will help:

no the drivers dont do anything and yes the error message number is exact i copied it from the error message, the vcd is not an original and also doesnt work on other computers running win2k, ive also tried playing the vcd with xingmpeg player but that doesnt work either

Hiya

It may be a bit tricky then, if you say you've tried it on other pc's running 2000. You could always try converting to mpg, though I have never done it myself. Maybe someone else has.

If you wish to try that, have a look here:
