Erg, this is probably a dumb question....but my computer does not play Windows Media type videos. My windows media player works fine. Do they only play on XP? Cause i have 98. I doubt thats the problem though. I mean, i can play every codec under the sun, but those just...dont work o.O What do you think the problem is?

And on another note, is it possible to convert WMV's to AVI's or MPEG's?

I have the same problem. I believe you have to install windows media player 7 or higher (something which im not even about to do).

best best is to upgrade to version 9 even though its bloated

You don't have to install WMP9. If you have WMP7 or greater you can install the Windows Media 8 and 9 codecs:

Select "Codecs Installation Package" in the Select Download drop-down box.

Yes, given the correct software:

mplayer can do it, but it works best on UN*X systems. VirtualDub 1.3, should you be able to get a copy of it, includes a WMV parser. (Only VirtualDub 1.3 has that parser IIRC -- Microsoft made Avery Lee remove it in future versions, though if you were enterprising you could re-integrate the parser with the current codebase

)

you can read wmv into avisynth if you know the framerate of the file
directshowsource("G:\hotporn2.wmv",29.97)

also EO video will convert wmv.

TMPGEnc can do that? I'll have to try that...hhmmmm...

And where would you go about getting better versions of Windows Media Player? I have 6.4 o.O

6.4 is the best of the Windows Media Player series. Period.
