My GBPVR PC is an XP box, but I also have a Vista Ultimate (64 bit edition) PC on my home network.
The other day I tried to playback a recording on the Vista box from my PVR recordings share. Media player crashed. So, I tried to play back any MPEG2 file and found that the system crashed on all MPEG files, regardless of the player used.
My Vista box has SP1 installed and is fully up to date with all the MS hotfixes. It's also very clean and has only a hand full of apps on it.
So, I do some research and it seems that many people have this problem and I can find no published fix. So, does the Vista MPEG codec even work? It sure doesn't on my pristine Vista 64 box. Is this a common problem?
