That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig. [Christopher Duncan on how to prevent yourself from ending up in a sig]

WinAmp plays videos nowadays.

Ok so I am now pissed off at MS. WMP 9 no longer comes with the AVI codes, so you cannot play AVIs. No notice, no warning, no "AVI support removed"! Bloody annoying. So I checked out http://www.ligos.com/indeo/ and found out I have to PAY to get the damned codec. What a crock! Pay? Who pays for things these days! Anyway... just wondering if anyone knows how to play AVIs on WMP9 without having to buy the codec, ta :)

And of course you have the free DivX codecs on divx.com. And you can use GSpot 2.0 to see what codecs you need for a movie. Cheers, Fredrik

Trollslayer wrote: Download the DivX codec/player package, its free Thanks for the tip, but I really like the WMP9 interface, playlists and features (and technically it is also free.) Also I did install the DivX player and to my horror it also installed an app called GAIN which started popping up adverts... lovely indeed. Anyway, I installed the free codecs mentioned above for WMP9 and they work great :) Thanks though.

Give Media Player Classic[^] a try, its heavily based on WMP 6.4, but has a couple of extra features.

I like it because it can be made to take up next to no room, and sit on top of my screen, in the unused section of the window frame. Plus it plays mp3's, which is all I ask of it. I'll admit a couple of my videos play upside down or with the colours swapped, but I always presumed that was the fault of whoever ripped them.....
