I have a video that I downloaded. The initial format of the video was .flv. Using a softwware program, I converted the file to an mpeg file, but what I noticed was that it was being saved as .mpeg_ . When I took out the _ the icon of the file changed to a filmstrip icon. According to help file documentation, Windows Media Player is supposed to be able to play, and in fact supports, the file format .mpeg. Why is it that when I double click the file, Windows Media Player gives me an error message stating that it can't play the file? I am using Media Player 11, and I checked the Microsoft website, and that is the most recent player available.
$100 per TB is disgusting especially when we have advanced so much in this area, it's because RAM, Flash memory costs so much that creating a small factor, lots of space drives are just through the roof in material requirements.
