When I click render in GSPOT the videos render successfully. Also remember
the video plays fine when I try with GSPOT (it uses Windows Media Player 10)
Here's what I get:
******************************
Video Src type: MPEG1 Payload
Audio Src: MPEG1AudioPayload
DirectShow claims to be able to play the file. The following combination of
filters were used:
{L:\smith.mpg} (Source)
{MainConcept MPEG Splitter} (Splitter)
{MPEG Video Decoder} (Video Decoder)
{Video Renderer} (Video Renderer)
{MPEG Audio Decoder} (Audio Decoder)
{Default DirectSound Device} (Audio Renderer)
**************************
As to the error, there is not a web site, it simply reports to Microsoft.
Here's the error signature:
AppName: mplay32.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.2180 ModName: mciqtz32.dll
ModVer: 6.5.2600.2180 Offset: 000031c9
When I look at the detailed report of the technical information, I see
nothing there except the normal system info, modules (71 of these), and
threads (including a huge on for mplayer itself). I've scanned through all
that for clues as to the problem but don't seen anything obvious. I'll be
the first one to admit, though, that I don't fully understand what I am
looking at.
Thanks again any help that can be provided.
