WMP Codecs
« on: September 08, 2008, 06:50:02 PM »
I need a MPEG-2 decoder plug in for WMP-11 and it needs to be free. Any ideas?

Wish I could remember the name!

Someone posted a reference to 2 good ones (both free!) on the bbs!

Downloaded em both but one took nearly and hour with DSL it was so complete!

Might wanna do a bbs look up for codex?

I got a copy of MPlayer that worked.

This year I am downloading college football games via BiTorrent and watching them. The biggest problem associated with that is everyone is using different codecs. Kinda blows having to have multiple media players just to watch these games.

Is that what they're calling it now?  When I was a kid I spent a lot of time "oiling my ball glove..."
