[mythtv-users] problem playing transcoded files in windows

[Aleaxander]

I can't give you the exact codec name that will work, but in case no one 
else responds, since I started using the K-Lite codec pack, I have 
almost never run into a video file that I could not play.  When I have 
run into something, I just install the latest version of K-Lite, and all 
is working again.  As new versions of codec come out, and movies are 
encoded using them, you have to upgrade once in awhile.

Hope this helps,
