Codec for WMP

[h121589]

most of the times that i d/l a movie it doesnt play the movie in WMP but i can play it in VLC
when i try to play the movie in WMP it says Error Downloading Codec and then only the audio plays
well im tryin to convert a avi to mpeg1/2 with WinAVi and its giving me an error that says make sure that the movie can be played in WMP

so i was wondering what is the best codec for WMP

[{I}{K}{E}]

Why do you wanna play it in WMP?

WMP uses the same codecs as other players.

Install the "K-Lite Codec" pack or the "StormediaAIO" codec pack...
Both very good packs...
you should have no problems after installing 1 of those...
The reason why VideoLAN(VLC) plays all your movies is that it has its own built-in codecs, which your other players cant use

@ {I}{K}{E}

hes trying to convert it with WinAVI Video Convertor, which gayly enough uses the WMP codec to convert it with...

@Harsh which one should i install?
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.16
K-Lite Codec Pack 2.34 Full
K-Lite Codec Pack 2.34 Standard
K-Lite Codec Pack 2.34 Basic

K-Lite Codec Pack 2.34 Full

[Harsh!]

My personal preference is either the full or the mega codec pack..
That way you have everything in case later on down the track you need another codec its already installed

[h121589]

K-Lite Codec Pack 2.34 Full

You could have just looked at one of the many stickies in here called K-Lite Codec Pack :dry:
