what are the specs for your system ?
have you been able to view video previously ?
have you tried another CD ?
have you tried to view ANY other media ?
we might be good, but we ain't mind readers :)
What's the problem? Do you have a problem with wmv or with video-cds or both?
You cannot see anything? The player's screen stays black? Sounds like you have a problem with overlays.. Check the display-driver settings.. Maybe it's outputting to a tv-out?
Imma take a stab in the dark here.
Do you have Divx or Xvid codecs installed? They don't come by default with WinMediaPlayer (last time I checked), and when you try to view a Divx compressed (encoded?) video, you get sound but no picture.
I think zencoder is on the right track here.
You say you have the latest codecs... but which ones?
Did your friend encode the VCD or is it a bought one? If your friend encoded it then you can just ask him what codec/software he used and together you should be able to sort it.
If it was bought then sometimes there is a player on the CD itself. In any case I would definatly recommend installing DivX/Xvid.
Hope this helps!
