I've had this problem for a little while but i really wanna edit a video now so im pissed off my mate gave me some mpg files on a CD from his DVD camera and when i open them, they play, but a 'windows media player has encountered a problem' box comes up, and when i click 'Don't send', the program closes. This also happens in VLC media player and adobe, but in adobe i cant actually edit/play the vids, the program just crashes. I dont get whats up, it cant be codecs as they play, and i have all the codecs anyway (i think). Anyone got any ideas?
