I'm baaaaaack.
O.K., let's try this again.
Since the OS reinstall, the only thing installed is the default Windows Media Player 6.4.
So if I install BSPlayer (from the k-lite package), Real Alternative, Quicktime Alternative, & the proper Codec Installation Package for Windows Media Player from Microsoft, should that theoretically take care of playing locally or streaming Real, Quicktime, & the latest WMP files?
Note from Microsoft: If you do not have Windows Media Player 9 Series or later installed and cannot play content by using the Windows Media Video 9 or Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codecs from a Player embedded in a Web page, consider downloading the codec installation package for Windows Media Player 6.4 as well.
Which is the appropriate codec package: wmp6cdcs.exe, WM9Codecs9x.exe, wmv9VCMsetup.exe, or a combination of them?
Will they automatically be placed in the proper directory when installed?
Would that be "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM"?
Will I be given an option to handpick the codecs?
If so should I just install the complete package?
Should I use ffdsow to cover the codecs for other types of files? If not, which from the list from adicoto would you recommend?
Didn't I hear that there were some problems associated with ffdsow?
Phhew, lot of questions, eh? I know, but I just wanna get it right. No more pain in the a** OS reinstalls planned in the near future...lol :roll:
