    When I try to import a movie file (mpeg) I get this message: mpg cannot be
    imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your
    computer. I downloaded codecs from Microsoft, 6.4, 7.1 and 9 VCM. I also
    downloaded Cineplayer DVD decoder. Why do I keep getting the same message.
    Is there something else I need to do?
