Thank you all for your help. Here is the situation. Everything has worked out OK, but for one thing. I cannot use VLC in my Acer laptop as when I try, a notice comes up saying that the VLC player has crashed, this happens every time without fail, but my other player Pot Player, has no such problem.
I showed it to my local computer guy who cannot speak a word of English, so he translated it on his phone and will get back in touch with me.
