[mythtv-users] Chicago ABC OTA channel 7 recording not playing on Windows

[TJ Kolev]

Greetings,

I only have a MythTV backend (on Ubuntu), and use Win 7 media center to
watch the recordings. All is fine, except the recordings for WLS (ABC7, RF
channel 44) won't play. The files play fine in xine on my separate Ubuntu
desktop box. On Windows, media player just shows a black screen, Quicktime
and the XviD play promptly crash.

Does anyone has a clue what the issue is? I am assuming the mpeg format is
not a flavor Windows likes. What tools can I use to find more information
about the file, so I can see what's different between it and one for say
NBC? Then perhaps I'll have an idea how to go about handling it.

Thank you.
tjk :)
