Hi everyone,
I have done search for mpeg and mpeg error and I couldn't find a solution to my problem.
I am trying to play videos that I have recorded from my digital camera. They are in MPEG format and every time I click on them play in XBMC I get an error stating the file could not play and I was supposed to check my log file.
I checked my log file and here is what it listed.

Please help if you can.
Thank you very much :-)
Ended up just converting the files to mpeg 2.
If you're still curious about this, tools like MediaInfo and ffprobe can tell you exactly what format the video is in. Presumably it's in some weird variant of mpeg that ffmpeg can't recognise.
