BTW for some reason i can watch the videos on youtube.com?? WTF??
If your using IE try this, go to tools, internet options, advanced, mutimedia and check all the boxes. Also see if you have quicktime installed (if you don't want itunes download the stand alone version).
hmmmi noticed i dont have MPG in my downlowd actions, how would add mpg movies to the mix. i think that might be my problem.
Two more things, try downloading and installing IE7 Or take out sp2 and let automatic updates install it for you because you sp2 file might have been corrupt, plus witch version of xp are you using. More info makes for better answers.
get firefox insted of using ie Firefox 1.5.0.4 Security and Stability Update http://www.mozilla.org/ and use this program VIDEO DOWNLOADER..........Firefox extension lets you freely download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion... and 60+ other video sites ! And all embedded objects on a webpage (movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc)! Directly! VideoDownloader add a small icon on the status bar at the bottom of your firefox window, and a toolbar button. Just click that and download the video you are watching.....(free).....GO THERE! https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390
Im using firfox now, it does the ame thing with IE. Ive found my problem but i dont know how to fix it. The problem is in my tools section on firefox, when i go to download actions, i have WM WMA and WMV but no MPG, how do i add MPG to my download actions??????
try the VIDEO DOWNLOADER and see if it adds it.. quote objects on a webpage (movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc)! and check out this page for add on's https://addons.mozilla.org/?application=firefox
I feel stupid now that I realize that i didn't take into account the browser that I love, Ireland should be right.
ive had video downloder and it does not add MPG to my download actions. anyone with firefox please click on tools, then options and then view and edit actions. see if you have MPG as one of the available actions. if you do, how the hell did you get it on their??

Ive downloaded all those, Ok... so which plug will add MPG as one of my availalble download actions?? my browser wont play any MPG videos because its not available in my download actions. that explains why i can watch youtube.com videos but not any others. does anyone know what im talking about?
I do for some reason have this in my browser. I've come up with a new list of things to try. (1)Install flash player. (2)Install QuickTime 7.1 because my action for mpg is to open with quicktime 7.1, dunno why since quicktime never opens. (3)If you have Media player 11 installed, go back to media player 10, 11 is total crap. (4)Reinstall firefox (5) If nothing else has worked then CLEAN you reinstallation disk very well and install it again, I've heard that small amounts of dirt can cause a lot of problems. this post applies to the post before irelands second post, some how it was nocked down.
i can play mpg in firefox/// with out the mpg plug in firefox or download the file,ye must have a computer problem.. and i am using wmp-7.1 http://video.search.yahoo.com/searc...Search&fr=FP-tab-vid-t&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8
Hmm well thanks for all your help anyways, im paying some guy to come by monday to see if he can fix. i will be sure and let you know what the problem was. thanks again.
