Problem: I can't play the MPG 2 videos.
You need to download and install this MPG 2 Codec
If you still can't play the MPG 2 videos try downloading and installing this MPG 2 patch
Or you could try this Free Elecard MPG 2 Player which has an MPG 2 video decoder built in.
Mac Users

Useful Codec packs:
Nimo Codec pack which contains an MPG 2 codec (read the instructions carefully before installing the Nimo Codec pack) Or you could try downloading and installing the SLD Codec pack.
Recommended Video Players:
I recomend that you play all the videos with Zoom Player It's much better than Windows Media Player and will play almost any type of file and it has lots more options. You can easily adjust all the colour and brightness settings.
ALSO I use mPlayer for a lot of video clips. NOTE that often you will get an ERROR message before the movie will play...it is IMPORTANT to click on CLOSE and then wait, as it will still play the movie!
