WMP-11 is great if you have the codecs installed.
My WMP-11 Plays M-Peg 1 & 2, MP4, XviD, DivX, AVI.
The only mager codecs you need are
XviD Video Codec - which will also Decode DivX
AC3 Filter - Will fix that problem for all you people who have video but no audio, if it doesnt fix that problem your video file has been converted to a diffrent audio file which WMP-11 will not play.
The Most common Audio Files are Mp3 & AC3.

Whenever I try to view DVDs in WMP11, I get a ghosting or double image effect. It plays, but the image is driving me crazy. I have downloaded every codec mentioned and nothing made any difference. Please help!!!!

i just installed wmp11 and nero on my xp, but somehow it got corrupted by some program like the vista transform7&8 and after installing it both media players could play the video but not the sounds,it's totally mute. i have tried troubleshooting it but evry devices in device manager works well, even in the contol panels-audio and sound devices and volume controls and properties and some other options-their all performing gud. its just both the wmp11 and nero could not play audio.
does anybody have an idea resolving this? ty

You Guys Need A New PC Then
I Recently Purchased A New PC, £300.
It runs Vista Super Fast, Much Better Than Xp And 2000.
I Have Dual Core 1.86GHZ And 1024 RAM.
Come On. There Are Systems Out There For £180 That Can Run It Easily As Well.
It's Like An Xbox 360, Wii Or PS3. With The Same Technology They Were Limited, So They Had To Bring Out New consoles For Motion Sensors And HD Graphics.

I am Dual Booting Windows Vista with XP Media Center and i gotta say Vista is Very Fast. all you people that say vista is slow need to upgrade your computers, better processor and more ram, maybe a better HD for larger file transfer.
AND FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT MOAN ABOUT THE QUALITY OF MOVIES OR MP3 SONGS OR DOWNLOADIN CODECS, ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS DOWNLOAD A CONVERTOR AND CHANGE THE FORMAT OF YOUR VIDEO TO WHAT EVER YOUR HAPPY WITH AND THE AUDIO OF YOUR VIDEO TO MP3, IF THE QUALITY OF YOUR SONG SUCKS CHANGE THE PLAYERS SOUND BIT RATE, ITS PROBLY LOW LIKE 96KBPS WHEN IT SHOULD BE MINIMUM OF 128 OR IF YOUR LIKE ME AND WANT PURE QUALITY THEN 192 OR ABOVE. SONGS SHOULD ALSO HAVE A BITRATE OF 128 MINIMUM WHICH IS CD QUALITY.
IF YOU WANNA CHAT BOUT DIFFRENT VIDEO OR AUDIO FORMATS OR VIDEO AND AUDIO CONVERTORS AND DOWNLOADING FULL LENGTH MOVIES FAST OR NEED HELP WITH A FILE FORMAT THEN E-MAIL ME I ALSO HAVE MSN INSTANT MESSAGING,

Dear Cal,
I believe that you are caught up because of the monopolizing nature of Micro soft. Under the guise of DRM (Digital Rights Management), no software/hardware that cannot encrypt protected content at all stages, and prevent any insecure output (as component output), from playing. Hard luck that you have been cheated into buying Vista and unable to play content. It means that at some point of time, we may not be even able to play content we bought because we made a copy of it.
There are plenty of white papers that show this doomsday prophecy and it is not mine.
Half of the hardware do not have firmware drivers for vista because of this policy. Creative Sound Blaster does not work because it has some insecure ports. Finally, one day all our music/media software will be in Microsofts mercy.
This post is dedicated to all the Vista fans/users and victims.
All the best with VISTA. :-)

Its good on my brothers pc, but not mine. It lags like hell, when i try to play a song its all laggy and such. But his pc has better specs, so no aguring whats the difference :D. My pc specs suck, and vista on my pc is like putting a fish to fly.
So the main thing is, if your pc specs suck, dont even get vista
a good processor should do it
enough RAM; about 700mb-2.0 gb (if you want at least best performance)
and updated drivers and such

I upgraded to the beta version and haven't really had that much issue. I know practically zero about codecs and such and only explorer the area if I need to, regardless, I've discovered that most files that didn't play with the default settings will play if you install:
- DivX Codecs
- FFDShow and/or The Codecs (Theoretica)
3ivx D4 added the ability to play m4a audio
(and installed WMP Tag Support Extender so I could set WMP as default for additional formats)
My only real drama has been with playing some mp4 video formats and I'm still looking for answers there.
