Windows Media Player Codec

[Lionheartilly]

Sup ppl-

I have a .mpeg that i can't play through windows media.

i look up online and a suggestion was to d/l the xvidcore codec.

I did and unzip the files to a folder.

However, I do not know the location of where WM store their codecs.

Can anyone tell me where the path is?

Am i going the right way?

1. Codec's can be stored anywhere, they are registered with Windows/dshow.

2. That's not going to decode any MPEG content you have. XviD has nothing to do with MPEG's.

3. Reinstall DirectX to reinstall your MPEG-1 decoder.

4. Install ffdshow and enable it to decode MPEG-2 if you have MPEG-2 content.
