imi Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Just resintalled WinXP and got everything updated via the microsoft website. I am having sound issues with Windows media - it plays online videos without audio. Same goes with most mpg files. Initially I thought it was a sound driver issue, however downloaded the most upto date ones from the web in vain. Just installed RealPlayer and the online vids and mpgs work fine on RealPlayer. Any ideas how I can fix Windows Media Player (how can one completely uninstall media player) Many thx for your help/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 It sounds like a codec problem, maybe you should install a codec pack. the link below is the one i have installed. See if that works. CLICK ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaveriK Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Codecs without question. Try Nimo.Codec.Pack.5.Build.7.ShareReactor or ACEMCP593SELECT as a base and then update from there(AC3 etc). There is also a base pack on Microsofts site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I don't like most of these "codec packs" they can be a pain in the arse if you then update or remove just one codec. I'd prefer to install just what is needed. FFDShow and the above AC3 filter should cover most things however. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=213872&release_id=469134 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 On the subject of Codecs, having upgraded Windows Media to the new version (11?), I am unable to rip to mp3, and understand this is because it no longer includes an mp3 codec? Any recommendations for a good mp3 codec for ripping/transcoding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
