Doesn't pick-up MPEG-1 file info

[Shurik76]

Have a fresh system installed (Win2K SP3) with the default Windows codecs set + DivX 5.0.3 + AC3 decoder. That's it.

Have a bunch of mpeg-1 movies (mostly VCD files in PAL and NTSC format). They play in WMP or BSPlayer without any problems. 'Properties' tab in WMP shows that it uses Microsoft's MPEG-1 codec for video etc... (File > Properties > Advanced) But when i'm trying to add it to the catalog, AMC imports only filesize . Standard Explorer's 'File Summary' doesn't show anything either (Properties > Summary) . But in the same time, any tool like AVIcodec (http://avicodec.duby.info) shows codec/bps/fps... etc. info without a hitch

Thus i guess that AMC doesn't analyze files by itself (as for example AVIcodec does). It just grabs the information that's already available through the API.

Anyway, can anybody suggest any solution for this problem. I know that it can be solved for sure because i don't have this issue at home - my home PC has many different codecpacks/filters installed. And it looks like some of these codecs/filters provide the above mentioned info to the Explorer. I just can't define which one does

AMC only analyzes AVI files that have .avi or .divx extension. I do not use API functions, I wrote myself a function to extract information from an AVI file, so I am sure that the codec info is right (I think that Windows API functions only returns the name of the codec that will play the file, not really what's in the file).
In the future I'll add support for other formats through this program unless I find how to get directly information in Delphi. Maybe I'll use API functions only for MPEG.
