previewing mp4 videos

[slats7]

Does anyone else have trouble previewing mp4 vids while they're downloading? I have like six different media players on my pc but none will play these vids. Curious.

With WinXP, right clicking a mp4 video and click open with....select program from a list, and then selecting windows media player, also put a dot in "always use this program" works for me... not sure about Win7/8 though, if it works the same way or not. It should be similar i would think, so give that a try and see what you can do

I've never had any trouble with VLC media player

Evey time I use VLC for incomplete mp4's it crashes, and then it asks if i want to send a crash report.

[silicon_toad2000]

is it just the one mp4 file or is it all mp4 files?

[slats7]

98% of them

and they all seem to play ok once they have finished downloading?

[slats7]

yes, they play flawlessly once completed
