Aging codec?
I have a video file that plays just fine on a 32 bit Vista laptop but on my 64 bit desktop the video skips the middle section during playback. The complete video is about 16 minutes long but it will only play for about 6:00 minutes. I've tried to convert the file to a different format but when I do it stops at 5:00 minutes into the video. My theory is that newer codes are interpreting some data as an end of file marker.
I have a general fear that a lot of my older videos will become unplayable as their codecs become obsolete. The problem is I don't even know what constitutes a modern or current codec. Does anyone have any advice?
