Can't play file - help appreciated

I downloaded the 'CamViki-Alex creaming show' from [hidden link - please register] a couple of days ago, but haven't been able to play it. First of all I get a RealPlayer message telling me that software needs to be downloaded. I okay this and the software downloads. I then get another error message telling me that I need DirectShow compatible MPEG-2-decoding software installed.

I downloaded and installed what I thought was the MPEG-2-decoding software, but I still get the messages.

Can anyone help me and point me to a site that will provide the correct software. I desperatley want to see this clip.

Thanks in adavance.

VLC player is very simply and no problems with it

yeah i would recomend you try using the VLC player... i've neva had any problems with it

goto website [hidden link - please register] and type in vlc player. its plays everything.

there is a program called gspot,

which tells you the codec you need and if your system has it installed,

another thing to note is that some codecs when installed disable other ones

Thanks, DB.

[edit] Thanks again, DB. It worked like a treat!

You can use media player classic or VLC player.

Otherwise a decent codec pack such as KazzaLite will have a  suitable mpeg-2 codec and then the standard media player (in Windows) will work.
