I tried running dreamscene, and an error popped up. On clicking on the
little bubble, "The video file format is not supported, or there was an error
decoding this video file" I realize this is a 'preveiw' but it sounds like
others have gotten it to work.
I'm using a Radeon 9800 pro.
 
I am having the exact same problem.
Intel Dual Core 3.0Ghz
Nvidia 7800 GTX

I'm thinking it's a codec problem?...
 
is that trying some of the samples that come with dream scene or you video of choice.
does the video that crashes play with other video player.

I also have tried stardock's "deskscape" extension, thinking that maybe it
was a problem with the original movie. However trying to play their sample
gives me the same error.
 
The default movie that comes with the preview plays in Windows Media
Player...However, it errors when trying to use it in DreamScene.

Any *.Dream file (from stardock) shows the same error. I can easily select
a *.wmv file to use with DreamScene with no problems...
 
Mel- So you still get the decoding error when attempting to play any other
movie besides a .wmv. I will have to try and see if I can get that format to
work. Is it possible that I'm unable to play the other videos due to a bad
codec of sorts?
 
I managed to play several MPEG files until I tried a Madonna video. Explorer crashed.

I tried that as well, and can run a .wmv file fine.. Its the mpeg's that
give the error, as well as the *.Dream file.
 
hey guys...FIXED it by installing Vista codec pack 4.2.7 .

do a google search for the download.
