[Mplayer-advusers] dvr ms codec (lol!)

[compn]

ok, so i see some requests for this codec, on XBMC lists and on -users
i finally got a sample to check out... its an asf container with mpeg2 video.

libmpeg2 kind of decodes the sample i have, but with some errors...
ffmpeg wont decode it for me.

add format 0x20525644 under videocodec mpeg2 in codecs.conf

Microsoft Digital Video Recording (.dvr-ms)

In Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition, Microsoft introduced the *.dvr-ms file format for storing recorded TV content. Similar to *.asf files, *.dvr- ms file enhancements permit key Personal Video Recorder (PVR) functionality, including time-shifting, live pause, and simultaneous record and playback. Video contained in a *.dvr-ms file is encoded as MPEG-2 video stream, and the audio contained in the *.dvr-ms file is encoded as MPEG-1 Layer II audio stream.

To play back unprotected *.dvr-ms files on Windows XP-based computers, you must have the following software and hardware components:

•
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later.

•
The update that is documented in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base must be installed on the computer: For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

•
A Windows XP-compatible DVD decoder.
