WMP, and HD program vs transport streams

megabit wrote on 12/31/2008, 6:12 AM
Sometimes when rendering a HD format for PC playback (so that anyone having WMP can play it, provided they have the MPEG-2 codec), I end up with a movie that will play double speed in WMP (it's OK in other players like Nero Showime or VLC, but I cannot assume everyone has them).

What I noticed is that when I produce a Transport stream rather than Program, and then simply rename the resulting m2t into mpg, WMP plays back OK.

Anyone noticed it ? Comments welcome...

Very sincere wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all forum members!

Win Media Player has always caused or exhibited problems with HD. Their
program on Vista is nothing but a headache.

Transport files are the only output our customer can accept due to the conversion to
QAM for cable tv. We use VLC too.

WMP does seem to work with 8 Mbs WMV files. Have you tried rendering that format?
