ok so this is what i have found!
kind of resolved?
win 7-64

if i open runway and point to "vid" folder      "save"
and do not have "snap" folder set    and launch "MG" it opens and starts the vidieo!  Yay

but when i set both "snap" and "Vid" in runway  ...  and launch "MG"  it opens and
just shows the Snap and fades to black...like it is loading .....stall....WTF...

am i doing somthing wrong.....seams like a bug.....

thanks for your comment!  peace......

Well, I tested it on two machines with XP SP3. Simply dont works with Emumovies MP4!!! I tested folders tips, reinstall codecs... but nothing changes.
So, I install Mgalaxy in Win 7 32 and it works fine!

What's mean that Mgalaxy play the videos? Some codec special? A external player?
I reinstall Klite Megacodec, but in XP it still dont works.

Aeliss is right: you must have Windows Media Player 10 (at least) to see your videos inside mGalaxy
