Yeah get a good codec pack such as http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...Codec_Pack.htm

It also includes media player classic which contains no BS

don't touch real or quicktime

imho keep away from windows media player since it chats with m$ servers too much for my comfort

use real alternative
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...lternative.htm

there is also quicktime alternative

much faster, less bloated, and stable...

ON the mac and pc I use I use quicktime Pro and Windows media, and on the Mac I also have VLC. plays literally every format, including oddball ones like .flv.

Only problem is you need quiktime installed for itunes. I uninstalled it and Itunes went potty so I had to put it back. Hate the fact that its there...same goes for realplayer. I use VLC and ACDSee which is simple and superb for videos and pics. There also this thing called avipreview that lets you view unfinished avi files but it also does a good job of playing most awkward video files.

Does anyone know where videos on the web are saved while playing? If you watch a vid fro youtube for example does it actually store the video file on the PC that you can copy and paste somewhere else?

BTW that codec site is a superb resource...thanks!

iirc youtube uses some kind of proprietry embedding which means you cant get to the video streams, and what it downloads isnt really intelligble anyway...

Have a hunt around, there's loads of programmes that will rip straight from gootube.

Thanks Ferret, sounds like a plan! Will follow that one up...
