Window's Media Player Help
I've been havng problems with WMP as far as playing mpg's goes. 9 out of 10 times instead of playing the movie, it starts of the "ambiance" screen & then crashes. I have it set to be the default player for mpgs & this seemed to start happening after I installed WinAmp - and I have WinAmpo set for Audio Only
 It tells me the problem is this: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/Response.asp?SID=615 & that I need this "MainConcept MPEG Encoder 1.3.1 for Windows" - but that doesn't exist on the site & the new one costs money. Anmyone have this problem before? Help!  |

I knew I'd regret not putting in the "Cleo does not need to reply" comment on my post

LOL at Cleo. I downloaded Quicktime a while ago and my movies play fine now.

Find something other than WinAmp for your audio.

I don't use WinAmp or WMP for the shows. WinAmp sets up to many conflicts with WMP. I've never known anyone who tried to use both that didn't have constant problems.

Do you have Irfanview? If you've downloaded the full plug-ins file, it'll play your mpegs, and every other video and audio type I've ever heard of. And even more that I haven't.

Download the plug-in pack (it's all free) and it plays/displays just about everything. |

Hmm. Search google for codecs.
Did you delete any by mistake? It doesn't say 'looking for codec' when you start an MPG, just shows the ambiance screen right away? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...odec+downloads |

Just disable the .wmp extension from your WinAmp file associations and make sure that Windows Media Player does associate itself with them. Should clear up the problems.

Fuck no
I tried to go to the news group, but my ISP must not like that one as it's not on the list 1/2 the sites I find that do have the codec wants to charge me for it, but it seems stupid to pay for it since it was working. The other 1/2 are in some other language - LOL I'm still looking |

I use both WinAmp and WMP without any problems. I've installed a few "codecs packs" and my WMP plays about everything I feed it with.
Entreri. p.s. You can try installing Microsoft's codecs : http://download.microsoft.com/downlo.../WM9Codecs.exe If you decide to try one of the many codec packs out there, some of them install spywares so you may have to clean up after installing them. |

Did you have to do a full reinstall?
This may come in handy for peace of mind for the future: http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/ptech/0....ap/index.html Did the drive give any indication it was failing? You run scandisk once in a while? Did you have the latest driver/firmware for the controller? Regardles- it really sucks. Sorry man. |
