Hi,

Just got the PD12 few days ago & was trying around to familiarize.
Do a project for testing and when I produce to MPEG2/DVD, there is no video image in the finished products when played with media player. Only audio is OK. Playing back the finished clip in PD12 was OK though.
This only happen when produced to MPEG2/DVD format & I have also tried various combination within this format but with the same result.
Producing to the other format like AVI, MPEG4, DVI etc have no issue at all.

Format with no video image
a) DVD HQ 720x576 50i 8Mbps
b) DVD HQ 720x576 25p 8Mbps
c) MPEG2 1920x1080 24p 25Mpbs
d) MPEG2 1920x1080 50i 25Mbps

Format that are OK
a) DV AVI 720x576 50i 25fps
b) AVC 1920x1080 50i 16Mpbs
c) MPEG4 640x480 25p 6Mbps

What could be the issue?
Anyone can help?

Thanks in advance
Freddie

For Windows Media Player to be able to play the latest videos, you need to install the latest K-lite Codec Pack.

Media Player does not have the correct codecs, K-lite provides them.

An alternative...install a (free) open source player, such as MPC-Home Cinema or VLC. They contain codecs that play most every format. That may even enable Windows Media Player to handle additional file types - in some cases.

Thanks Carl & Borgus.

Just found out that ASUSDVD media player that comes with the PC can play those files without issue. Did not realize this as the Windows 8 pop-up window when double click on the video file did not show ASUSDVD media player as a option.

Will check out K-Lite for the codecs.

Microsoft no longer licenses MPEG2 on Windows 8 and will not play any MPEG2 source in Windows Media Player. As pointed out, you can install alternative codec packs OR install another player.

If you pay for Media Center, that can play DVDs, but it doesn't add the codec that Media Player needs.

I like MPC-HC and use it as my default player.
