BONGO Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Since i reformatted my pc, i've had a few problems with playing video files. I have sorted most of them. I have my updates auto on, and i'm up to date. I also downloaded Divx codec, Xvid codec, and whatever else i could find that i thought would help, codec-wise.I still have video's that i can't hear the audio from. I have the codecs automatically downloaded option on, but it's clearly not working.How the hell do i sort this out, because it's very annoying!Cheers, Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Media Player is terrible mate, download VLC Player, it's free and a really good player!Plus you don't need loads of codecs with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could download a codec pack like the K-lite one (if that's still around?!) which should sort it all out, but like Mike says, VLC seems like a much better option to me. www.videolan.org/vlc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 http://www.cccp-project.net/ is all you need. Uncheck the 'players' in installation and basically everything should then play in WMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Working properly or not, WMP is nowhere near as good as VLC.Honestly mate, it's one of the first things I install on a PC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I use VLC for some videos but seeking through a file sucks for the most part in VLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Working properly or not, WMP is nowhere near as good as VLC.Honestly mate, it's one of the first things I install on a PC!There is absolutely no reason to change to anything else, if WMP is working properly though...
