TSGL: Using a Vista generated file (video) on another Vista machine

[Ron Brunton]

The fix is to install the codex (plural). I think you can find them at
snapfiles.com (http://www.webattack.com/) or Major Geek
(http://www.majorgeeks.com/ ). I had to do this for a few XP machines
recently. The name of the XP set is at the office. I'll get it later (if I
can remember) and post it this afternoon. I just checked Major Geek and
under "Multimedia" they have two "Codec" and "Codec Pack" both listed for
Vista and both freeware.

Hope this helps.

Ron

Subject: TSGL: Using a Vista generated file (video) on another Vista machine

I have two machines with Vista, one at home using the Home Premium
(Desktop) and one at work using the Enterprise Edition (Laptop). Quite
often I record TV shows, on my home machine, using Media Center. What I
like to do is to transfer some of these recordings to my work PC and
watch the shows when I travel. However, the Enterprise Edition can't
play these files in Media Player as it keeps nagging about missing
codecs. I know Media Center is not part of Enterprise Edition but still,
should a file created by Vista be compatible with another Vista?

Is there an easy fix for this? 

Note VLC (VideoLan) can play the file but the sound is damaged. It's not
completely in sync with the video.

Regards / Bo
