Windows Media Player can play only limited types of media files like WMA, MP3, WMV, ASF, MPEG, etc. For playing other types of media files like FLV, MOV, 3GP, MP4, etc.; you will have to change your player or find a suitable codec package for Windows Media Player to play these files.
With the right codec, you will be able to play all major media files right from your Windows Media Player on your Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 system. You will no longer need to keep your player changing with the change in file format of media files.
Codec for Windows XP and Windows Vista
The latest release contains a Settings Application which enables the user to choose a different splitters ‘on the fly’ for specific file types. It also lets you choose from 10 different speaker configurations from ’same as input’ and all the way up to full 7.1 channel output.
