video 2 problem

i got a file whose stream name is video 2, but i can’t play it. I used to know what codec to use but i forgot. Anybody knows?

Could you tell us more about the file? What is its extension? Is it an avi? Did you feed it into a diagnostic tool to find out which codec you’re missing?
You can find some diagnostic tools are listed on this page
http://www.moviecodec.com/questions/neededcodec.html

file extension is wmv
the property of the file is as follow

Image
width 720 pixels
height 480 pixels

Audio
duration 1:20:44
bit rate 560kbps
audio sample size 16 bit
channels 2 (stereo)
audio sample rate 44 kHz

video
data rate 520kbps
video sample size 24 bit
Stream name video 2

That doesn’t tell us much. Feed the file into avicodec (http://avicodec.duby.info) (- yes, download it and run it!) and paste what each of the line file:, audio:, and video: says.

it says
File : 319 MB (319 M, duration: 1:20:45, type: ASF, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 30 %


Video : 304 MB, 527 Kbps, 10.19 fps, 720*480 (4:3), WMV3 = Windows Media Video V9, Supported

Audio : 19.24 MB, 33 Kbps, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, 0x161 = Windows Media Audio V7, Supported

It says supported, but i still can’t play the file.

One of the codec packages on this page should work.

If for some reason it fails try to run the file while connected to the net and see if it’s protected by drm (digital rights management).

still don’t work
