Media Player 10 locks up when streaming mpg files from internet sites; this
applies ONLY to mpg files since I can see other video files such as avi, wma
fine while online. I cannot get online while Media Player 10 is locked up and
find that the only way to get out of is to close the program. As soon as I
get out of Media Player 10, I can then access the internet.

Whats puzzleling is that if I download the mpg files manually, I can view
them perfectly. I am only having having issues with mpgs streaming.

This problem is only with Media Player 10 since I can view streaming mpgs
from Quicktime Player without any problems. I have to toggle the associated
files of course. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Does mcspmpeg.ax exist on your system?
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#mpeg

If you specify your bitrate under WMP's Tools:Options:Performance, does that
help?

So if you unregister or rename that file, do things then work better/right?

http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#mcspmpeg
covers this, by the way.

Also: do you get the chance to send up a crash report here? Please tell
that you do - it would make my life very much happier since I could use that
crash bucket number--
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#bucket
-- to associate this problem with a fix, and then everyone else who runs
into this problem would happily ALSO find out how to fix this issue. =)

Okay, sounds like you would need to unregister and/or uninstall the
MainConcept files then.

I know this sounds silly but how do you unregister and/or uninstall the
MainConcept files?

What files are under:
===
C:\Program Files\Common Files\muvee Technologies\MainConcepts
===
? How did these files get installed to your system?

I would HEARTILY recommend you talk to MainConcept support, since they
should be a) aware of this problem and b) know how to remove their software
if needs be. =)
