WMV 9 & DivX 5.02
-
I just installed WMP9 yesterday, and use it to view DivX 5.03 movies (also Star Trek TNG ;) ) and it looks fine :-) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
Which probably means that there were bugs in 5.02. What a concept. Like I was trying to say to the original poster, the simple answer is usually the correct one. Some programmer made a mistake and now it is fixed. But of course, a nice juicy conspiracy theory is something The Register would love. Maybe someone should report this to them. :laugh: Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

Another reason to stick with WMP 6. Is there anything in WMP9 that you might actually want? /Magnus

OOOO, lets call up X-Files and Sylvia Brown and get the paranormal involved too. We can have conspiracy, aliens, and ghosts all involved at once.

You have their phone number? Yup yup let's call. Way to exaggerate. I'm just telling that they could do that, not that ms actually cripple DivX. Actually I don't know Sylvia Brown. But paranoid as I am, it would be best to look her up. New and improved: kwakkelflap.com "When I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my gun." - Stephen Hawking

Cape Town, South AfricaBah, explorer is the only playlist for me, nice hierarchical tree on the left, descriptive filenames on the right, context menus, built-in file management, what more could you ask for ;P What exactly does the Taskbar control do?

When you minimize WMP9 (and have enabled the Windows MEdia Player taskbar toolbar) it minimizes to your taskbar and presents you with a little row of buttons to control WMP9. So damned useful :-D
