Can't Open MPEG-4s with Stereo Video Player
I'm having a problem opening L & R MPEG-4 files with the Nvidia 3D Video Player - a message comes up which says I may need a codec. This exact text is:

"Could not render all streams. Maybe a codec needed to play the file is not installed."

The files open fine with Quicktime, and I've installed all the FFDShow codec packs.

I'm running Windows 7.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks!

First, try to play the movie without stereo video player - like in windows media player. If it fails there too, you need the codec. Probably the easiest way is to install zoom player. They have an install center that gives you a collection of all the best codecs. There is a free version out there, I think its called Zoom Player standard. Its worth it just to get all the common codecs installed. Run the install center after install and it will download a bunch of video codecs.
