guys but the issue is still there for .FLV and .MKV formats

You can try reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes and redistributables (2005 and 2008, depending on what you have installed)? Or I believe there is an option to repair them also.

Or you could try installing the K-Lite Codec Pack 'Full' from here (may be a simpler solution):

http://www.codecguid...download_kl.htm

This will extend the functionality of Windows Media Player to include support for MKV and FLV file formats etc...

"Contains everything you need to play all popular audio and video file formats.
Supports playback of AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, MPEG, MOV, TS, M2TS, RMVB, OGM, WMV, 3GP, WEBM, FLAC, Wavpack, and many more formats!"

I used to use this (worked well) but found VLC Player 'cleaner'...

Yeah try re-installing C++ redist as that's whats kicking up errors.

Installed Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes and redistributables 2010 x64. (from here http://www.microsoft...n.aspx?id=14632)
Still same with .flv and .mkv

OK try the K-Lite Codec Pack Full option that I posted above then.

You may have to actually remove or repair any other MS C++ Runtimes that were already installed on your system, i.e. not the 2010 version that you just installed...

stay away from k-lite... it damages your codecs and is very destructive... I suggest CCCP instead. I had terrible luck with k-lite. I had to reformat my sister's computer becuase my lil bro installed k-lite on it and her video playback was really bad and some files that were playing before didn't... tons of trouble... tried to get around not formatting, couldn't no matter what I did. CCCP works like a charm. Also please note that K-Lite will degrade the performance of certain games as well that use DXVA filters and stuff like the Fallout and Elder scrolls games (oblivion and skyrim) had a lot of issues with crashing and using the k-lite codec pack.

will try with CCCP first. lets see how it goes...fingers crossed

[g0dzilla]

Yeah I was just suggesting it as kind of a last resort as I don't like to use it either, although it has never caused me any issues.

VLC is great though!
