Does video codecs for Windows XP work for Windows Vista?
If not, anybody got any ideas of where I can download some?

Most XP codecs seem to work OK with Window Media Player in Vista. Many XP
codecs do not work with Windows Media Center. This means a video may play in
WMP but not in the Media Center. xVid has this problem.
 
Yes, with Media Player Classic, XP codecs work. I've used it since the early
betas when WMP or Media Center wouldn't play something.
 
type winver in run box or search box above Start Orb.


| Sry, but how do I check what version of Vista I'm running? :)
