Windows Media Player 11.2403.5.0 reviews

media player 11 is the bomb! To get the avis to play, download Gspot, drag the avi file or whatever file is missing a codec into the box and it tells you which audio and video codecs that are installed and those that are missing, you then google the codec name and download/install, such as Xvid 1.1.3, Piece of cake. got all my video and audio files working great.

i have wmp 11 for vista and iam trying to veiw movies that i have downloaded but when i try it says i dont have the proper codecs for it so i have downloaded loades of codecs but none seem to work . could someone please tell me one that works for wmp11 vista

thanks

Prompted by MSWINDOWS I unfortunately downloaded WMP11 and found it would not play my AVi videos. This is due, I understand, to the fact that MS have not included all the codecs needed to run this software, so who will crack down on MS?

Also, in attempting to `role back' to WMP10 I found that previous programmes were corrupted, I understand that this was arranged by MS to happen!!
Eventually the only way to reinstall WMP10 was to FORMAT my hard drive and spend hours reinstalling everything from scratch.

Warning, do not download WMP11.

does anyone know how to fix the windows media player 11 so that it will run avi vids in color i know it's a codec issue but which ones will fix it, it's a really annoying prob that has plauged me since i installed xp black edition also it has issues running real media files even with real alternative installed

I have re-downloaded Windows Media Player 11 again due to the lose of the AUDIO complete so i have tried everything i could to get the sound back, but i have since been told the download has not supplied the Codecs so I'm hoping you can help please, as i miss the music from my saved C/D collection.

i only use my windows media player cause it is versatile and safe to use although codec packs seem to be missing i will download and continue to support microsoft products and their affiliates thanks to you all for your hard work in making my entertainment lifestyle the best i could hope for.

i think this is a great program

windows media player 11 worked fine with me for weeks, nothing was wrong eveything played fine. but wen i played a dvd on there there was a huge video lag....not an audio lag though. has anyne else had this problem? if u have plz post something that'll help solve it.

thx i really appreciate the help I was having the same problems

I had high hopes of Vista. But after using is for 2 weeks now; it is one of the really bad os I have ever used since Windows was given birth. Vista is slower than Windows 2000 and takes a lot of time to even boot up. Since I am inclined to music; the first things I tried is the Windows Media Player. This is one of the worst players I have ever used. So slow and so un-user friendly. The looks are very similar to the old versions and I am completely no no for this. I am now reverting to my old XP Professional. Alternatively instead of corrupting your system with codec's; I would strongly recommend using the latest version of the VLC Player. VLC may not look good; but they are a one stop alternative for all your music and video's issues.
