I'm looking for some codecs for mpg files, namely RealVideoPremier and Raw Audio. I haven't had luck finding them on the internet.

Also, what is needed to play standalone swf files?

Can you give us some context about those codecs (i.e. how did you find the name of them)?

When you installed Macromedia Flash it should have given you a standalone SWF player and associated it with .swf files.

I got the names from Media Player Classic. When I tried to play the files the error box said it needed those codecs (each one is for a different file).

I'm using K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. That seems to have more than the others.

If you don't want to install a codec pack, VLC Media Player is a standalone app that plays .swf files and comes with its own codecs (Meaning these codecs won't be installed on your system. They are in the VLC folder and are used only with this app.).

Also, VLC media Player is a very useful Preview utility with eMule

Thanks, I'll check it out.

If not even VLC works, then please post the complete debug output of Media Player Classic when you try and open the file. This contains the FourCC code and other info we need to identify the codec(s) you need for playback.
