TakeNothingBack Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 For those of you that love WMP and are not aware of it, there is a program which allows all the most popular of formats to be played on Windows Media Player. It essentially centralises your player. Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightIdea Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Uhh... That's just a plugin for FLV files... Not 'majority' of formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeNothingBack Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Maybe I should have clarified, it installs the .flv plugin AND something else that allows the other formats aswell. Not too clear on why it isn't advertised on the site you download the file from though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 if you mean ffdshow, just install that directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x9248 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Wish people would stop recommending K-lite... that word should be censored here or something :p "This program only installs the FLV playback component for Windows Media Player. " So what exactly is it installing without your knowledge/permission?? Pretty dodgy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raa Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I install DIVX and ffdshow (formerly using XVID). Oh and Cyberlink :p Codec packs? No thanks. I dont like blue screens, bad codecs, spyware and/or misc problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo1911 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Or use Vista Codec Pack which has been supported by MajorGeeks website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercellus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I would recommend using ffdshow, it's stable and it does not break any licensing agreements unlike other codec packages (K-Lite, Vista Codec Pack, etc), plus it doesn't muck about with the Windows Registry and throw entries everywhere (grab a copy of Process Monitor from Windows Sysinternals and install one of those codec packs, you'll see what I mean). Or, use VLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
