WM Classic CANNOT PLAY RM FILES. You need a codec for it to play, which like I said EARLIER Real Alternative. When you install that, ALL media players (WMP, MPC, etc..) CAN render RM files for you to watch.
and why codecs don't match operating system? KLite Mega codec pack supports vista since KLM 1.64 (now is 1.66), and the latest version of CCCP also supports vista |

Usually those codec come along with Window Media Classic but the Video files icon wont be detected by Windows Vista. This post has been edited by WingKalimdor: Mar 1 2007, 07:11 PM |

video files icon?
like this?  Note that even if a video icon does not appear, it does not mean it cannot play. And codec pack contains codec made by other ppl, not by themselves. it doesn't matter which you pick. You will get the SAME thing |

QUOTE(WingKalimdor @ Mar 1 2007, 05:56 PM) That is not trial 30 day. It same like XP ,waiting 30 day for you to enter the serial or activated the windows vista version that you purchase.After activate the genuine logo will appear at system properties. this should be the OEM version right? or is it retail ?anyway how come Business is much more expensive than Home Premium. I think every shop also got discount , I bought from computerzone.  Follow the average market price:  MS WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC DVD------->rm305  MS WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM DVD---->rm395  MS WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS DVD---------->rm485  MS WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE DVD----------->rm680 There is one more version haven't release...  MS WINDOWS VISTA ENTERPRISE DVD  |

QUOTE(Joey-kun @ Mar 1 2007, 09:42 PM) mobo or gfx card. Mobo is more likely. A GFX will not void it unless it's a major overhaul (aka GeForce 4 --> nVidia 8800GTX)on a side note, this one sidebar exceeds my expectation  it even updated my library from the net and download the CD cover just like a full blown WMP would do |

Am a loyal fan of K-lite mega codec pack with Media Player Classic
But every time media player classic is opened, the Aero effect has to be dropped... any workaround or tweaked version that allows MPC to work well with Aero? |
