Can Not Play Vids on This Site - - Gspot Does Not Reveal Codec:

What's up Fellow NLE's

I've been tyring to figure out what the codec is for this video.
http://www.vuurwerkfilmpjes.nl/filmpjes/Japan/2005/24s.wmv

Its a link from a fireworks video site and Gspot does not know what
the codec is.

Can anybody shead some light on how to play it?

What does one do when Gspot can not identify the codec?

This site pretty cool it has tons and I mean tons of fireworks videos.
I just wish I could view the damn things!


Thanks for the help

 

I just right-clicked on your link and used the "Save target as..."
option. This downloaded the file, which is exactly what it
says it is; a .wmv (ASF) file. That's Windows Media. GSpot
also reports it as such.

The WMV extention seems like a dead giveaway that is is a
Microsoft Windows Media Video file. Or is this a trick question?

 

HA! No, it's not a trick question the damn file will not play in my WM
player 10. It's driving me nuts. What kills me is that some will play
and some will not.

I don't know what the heck is going on.

 

Plays fine here. Properties in Windows Media Player 10 says that the codec
is "Windows Media Video 9", 320x240, 291 kbs.

Thanks Steve,

I think you just discovered my problem. My Windows Media Player is
not playing ver 9.0 WMV files.

Werid, its a starting point to resolve the issue. Thanks
