The files themselves play perfectly when I copy them to another machine with the same version of the OS, so it's not a corruption problem.<br><br>Clearly I have somehow deleted or damaged the appropriate codecs or associated files. Can anybody advise on which objects to check and/or reinstall?<br><br>VLC displays an error message saying the format is not recognised. Mplayer just does nothing. However, Handbrake is still able to convert the file to MP4.<br><br>Thanks very much<br><br>Nige<br id="FontBreak"></font> </div></body> </html>
