Movies work well using WMV Conversions!

[sasha gottfried]

Converting files to wmv works fine........but why not supported Mpeg, avi
etc?

Explanation appreciated!

Is there another linl to Microsoft codecs for XP?

Hi Marc

There is a link on that site to WMP 11 for XP and WMP 10 for XP.
11: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx
10: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/default.aspx

Downloading either *should* sort out problems. I think. Not really my area

Hi,

This just takes you to the WMP 11 download.

I don't think you can download 10 anymore...unless I am mistaken...hopefully
I am.

Hi Marc

I was sure I replied to this this morning, but obviously not. Another blonde
moment....

WMP 10: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/default.aspx

Is there a reason why you want wmp 10? 11 will work perfectly OK with XP. You
can still get v 10 though AFAIK see :

Mpegs are supported, as long as they comply 100% with the Mpeg standards.
(Most home made videos don't.) As suggested above, give the PFCPro trial a
go, doesn't cost you anything and allows you to edit the video in PowerPoint
and then processes them to work on all Windows PCs.
