I wonder why

[Bo...@somewhere.com]

I have 2 computers, both running XP pro.

One has the software from a Canon HFS20A HD camera, the other has the software
from a Panasonic TM900.

I think they also both have the codec pack "CCCP".

When I play the m2ts files just using Windows media player, there are problems
with the sound.

The Canon files have distorted sound, unrecognizable speech. The Panasonic files
are not distorted but the sound is delayed by a second or more, and sometimes
skips.

If I use the player that came with the camera, there is no problem what so ever,
no skipping, no distortion.

I find this somewhat strange, since they must be using the proper codec, but...
?

Weird or what!

Windows Media Player cannot normally play such files at all, as far as I know.
Perhaps there's an incompatibility between WMP and the codecs installed by the
camera software.

Try VLC. It's free and can play all sorts of media. That's what I use for the
files that come out of my Sony camcorder (and the Blu-ray files that I render
to).

I can play a m2ts file that has been recorded at a video bit rate of 28
mbps 50p with no problems using Windows Media player. All the other types
of files 24mbps, 17mbps 50i will play back also using Windows Media player.

Either you need to update your version of Media player or your computer is
not fast enough to playback a video file that contains s lot of data. You
might need to increase that amount of memory that computer has.

I don't have problems with the sound with Windows media player, but I
do have some problems with 50Mbps MP4 1920x1080-60P made from the M2TS
28Mbps 60P originals, and sometimes with the M2TS originals themselves
(with slight horizontal skewing of picture parts and motion hesitations
with the Windows media player). I don't have this problem with the free
VLC player, though.

The problem is Windows media player... both of my machines are faster than
required since other players work fine.

I tried the player from CCCP (Media Player Classic) and it works so well that I
assigned it to all of my videos!
