I have a Sony Handycam that I've recorded a bunch of videos on. I just transferred them to the laptop and that went well but when I tried to open one to watch it, all I get is this screen...
The audio portion comes through fine. The files are saved on the laptop in an MPG/MPEG format. When I had my old laptop and used Windows 7 they worked just fine. Now I'm using Windows 8 and can't get the videos to play.
Any thoughts? Is there a software on here that should be able to play the videos? I tried loading the video software that's on Windows 8 but all it does is open a screen that tries to take me to an X-box video screen. HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I HATE WINDOWS 8??????
