is k-lite media codec pack the one that is screwing up? that is the pack that is par for the course for fixing codec type problems.

yay that one works, it even plays right side up :D you'd think microsoft would supply a ****ing functioning player when it loads a newer version during updates

now all that you have to do is update/reinstall the most current version, every 3-6 months, depending on how much questionable stuff you might view :D

actually the primary use is watching anime, with porn a strong second :D

vlc rocks... it's what i have to use on the mac to view most anything, including windows media files

i meant more "illegal" than pornographic--as compressing technology becomes more complex with time, you find that maybe you can't get your (cough) legitimate movie screeners to play without being jerky. k-lite seems to reliably fix such things, at least for me.
