I had knifed a segment of a vob file and saved it in mpeg2 format without audio (as i was to use it for a quiz question).  It plays perfectly on windows media player 11 but J river media centre 12 cannot analyse it or play it or add t to library.  Any hints why?  Believe me it is just an ordinary mpeg2 file sans the audio track.  Codec problem?  bitrate problem?  what the heck?  Please guide towards solution

Quite likely to be a filter or splitter problem.  I'd suggest that you just install CCCP, which includes the Gabest MPV MPEG decoder, and should handle it all fine.  CCCP is a great and lightweight codec and filter pack that installs basically everything you need for most common media types (and nothing you don't).

However, if you don't want to go that route, you could just install a standalone MPEG-2 decoder and splitter.  Basically two good options:

1. Gabest MPEG Decoder/Splitter
2. DScaler with Gabest Splitter

DScaler is considered to have the best possible video quality, but getting it set up properly can be a bit of a pain.  Gabest is a good and simpler alternative.  ZoomPlayer's Documentation has a nice page about this stuff, and links to download both options, here: http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/formats/mpeg2.shtml
