hey gang
I dont know if its a computer problem ... ie. I need some other sort of driver, other software
or if youtube did a change to their file format ( some weird mp4 variation ??)
I have noted that from ~ 6 - 8 months ago ( I have been meaning to talk abt this for some time) that video files i have saved from youtube for storing and future watching will not play
I have downloaded dozewns of doco, news clips, camera training tutorials etc using the realplayer save video button that pops up at the top right of a video
In the past there has never been a problem until ~ that 8 months ago, something has changed
Does anyone else have this hassle? the .mp4 files play ok as watched from within youtube, its just that the saved file wont play.
Have used a number of different players, Realplayer, VLC media player ( will play most weird formats), WMP
I would hate to delete all these videos only to later discover there was a fix for this
OHHH should note its ONLY files from youtube that wont play
cheers
Dave
