Title: WMP10 and MP4\'s?????
Post by: KillaX on March 05, 2005, 08:28:27 AM

which codec do I need to watch MP4s on WMP10??  I tried running one in WMP and it says it cant run and it didnt even try to download the right codec.....
Stupid thing wont even read VOB files.......  I ripped a DVD-r I was taping shows on as a test...     I am getting ready for the PSP.......

First download GSpot (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm), load the video into it and see which codec you need.  An install of FFDSHOW (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm) will usually solve all your mpeg-4 decoding problems. (download the SSE2 version if you have a P4, or the generic if anything else)

And VOB files (lol) are a bit more tricky.  You need an mpeg-2 codec which are usually not free.  You could just install WinDVD and drag and drop the VOB files into it, but if you really want WMP10 to play it, the NVDVD (http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html) decoder is the best one out right now.
