AVI and WMV
I've been ordering DVDs lately and have no trouble playing
mpg and mpeg short preview clips. Nothing over 1 or 2 mb. However avi and wmv won't open. An error message will pop-up asking if I want to search for correct codex online. I click yes but it only takes to mostly pay sites with LARGE downloads. I have wmp9, wmp_classic 6.4 and the Not MS mpc. Planning on d/l VLC later as it was suggested as a replacement. Anyone have a MS link I could try. Since I'm running Win, I'd like to stay within them if I can. Win 98 SE, P166 mmx, on dial-up. -- -------------------- http://NewsReader.Com/ -------------------- Usenet Newsgroup Service $9.95/Month 30GB |

AVI and WMV
Use google.com to locate codecs--I got all I needed for free.
Unfortunately, it was quite some time ago and I don't recall where I got them from. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2008 wrote in message ...
