I got a question , windows vista cannot support the media codec and I facing the problem to watch the media files such as .ogm and .mkv. and window media player 11 only can watch normal video files.
Any ideas to watch it?

O'rly? CCCP and K-lite does support vista. heck, during my beta days, I tried the old codec packs and it works perfectly. Long story short, download the latest version
*
Klite didn't work and I using windows vista ultimate x86 now.
But Klite work well on RMVB files.But when play .ogm and .mkv files it pop out missing codec.

I need to burn from 1 DVD to another, hence, i don't think window media center would be able to do so. Another problem i have here is that i cant seem to delete the files inside the program files itself, for instance, my Nero, i use uninstall and it wont work as it says that it crash. Then i try deleting it from the program files they say i dont have permission. ARghhh.

Good news for nero user's ,
Nero V7.5.7.0 is compatible for every version of windows vista.

2nd Half of 2007?  doh.gif

I just got my copy of Vista. Microsoft is launching Windows Vista at my campus (MMU Cyberjaya) today and tomorrow. Every staff & student is eligible for a copy of Vista Business Edition thumbup.gif

I want to install it, but I know that I can't use SE's PC Suite if I install Vista. Is it possible to dual-boot XP & Vista if I have only 1 HDD? My roommate said that I need at least 2 HDD to dual-boot. sweat.gif
*
Yes, you can dual boot in a same HDD but for installing vista you need a clean hard disk(empty).

Of course not, because you're install new windows in different partition. But if you install in the same partition, which is upgrading your winxp, you'll probably get what you want.
*
Windows Vista not allow Windows XP to share the same partition.I already try it need to set dual partition only can install and you won't occur any XP feature inside Windows Vista.

Can vista read RM files? Cause i have bunch of RM file of movies..
*
Yes, Vista can watch RM files.But not very recommended using Vista to watch RM files because the codec isn't match to the operating system.

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.

I think every shop also got discount , I bought from computerzone. smile.gif

Vista Enterprise will only be available through Microsoft Software Assurance. It  will not be available through retail or OEM.

I never heard of Vista Pro before, and I'm sure that it didn't exist.

Sorry , I make a mistake I will make a correction on previous post.

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
*
Add On:-

KLite Mega codec is not as good as Storm Codec if you plan to watch .MKV , .OGM and etc files.
Usually those codec come along with Window Media Classic but the Video files icon wont be detected by Windows Vista.

video files icon?
like this?

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


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
*
Nope it only happen to .MKV AND .OGM files.
Somehow it still can preview the movies nicely.

may i know why the boot screens only has the bar? i tot retail/oem has vista logo when booting up vista.. or im wrong
*
The logo will appear with a song after the boot screen bar success boot to windows.
For the windows vista logo is those windows vista come from longhorn.
To recognise that version is genuine you might refer to my picture attachment to prevent your confusing in windows vista.
