Rebooting when playing mod-MPEG or DV files

[Guest TheMooseArmy]

I’ve recently had problems with accessing DV and/or probably MPEG-Files (The

special .mod format used by JVC DVD-Camcorders) either by Windows, or by

Vegas 8.

 

When I’m loading my project file with Vegas, it will freeze and then

immediately reboot when it is accessing the video files (only DV files, but

there are MPEG-files in the same folder; I’ve had problems working with those

before). The reboot cannot be prevented.

If I had opened the folder with Windows Explorer, it did the same – freeze

and restart. Just after de-Installing MainConcept DV Codec, I could go and

see the files; but trying to play one would result in a restart again. Then I

installed Panasonic DV Codec, and I couldn’t even open the folder like before.

My computer also always restarts when I try to install Windows Media Player

11 (I had downgraded to version 9 before, now I need 11 for my mp3-player).

So I tried in safe mode – it worked – till it told me, AT THE END of the

installation, I need Media Player 10 to install this. BUT, Windows Media

Player 10 tells me, 11 IS installed; and my software panel started to restart

as well, since the installation.

 

So…I’m very lost….

I hope you can help me! Thanks already for reading this…

 

Additional Info

My Windows is a “tuned” XP with slipstreamed SP3 by RegCheck, since my old

--original-- (yes, I have a license) Windows had been pretty defective.

Everything worked fine before I started working with those MPEG-Mod-Files and

did something wrong, obviously.

 

There is an Elecard VFW MPEG codec installed. FFDShow is installed, too.

(Doesn’t matter if set to "play" or set to "not play" DV Files)

As for problems with WMP (all versions) you should cross-post to either one

or even both of the following NGs:

microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player

microsoft.public.multimedia.windows.mediaplayer .

The special video files problem might be better answered by the camera

manufacturers (i.e. JVC).
