luvxander, being the amazing and cool guy that he is, is letting me borrow one(!) of his external harddrives, which has season 2 of "Atlantis" and season 9 of SG-1 on it.
But three of the SGA episodes and most of the SG-1 episodes won't play. It has something to do with the fact that they're MPEG videos (though it doesn't say what type in the properties). When I try to open them in RealPlayer (the default player), it says that I need to get a "Microsoft DirectShow compatable MPEG-2 decoder".
Does anyone who's had more experience downloading episodes know what this is and where/how I can get it? I'd prefer either free or in some sort of limited trial.
Or, I'd be happy with even just some way that I can get these things to play.
