When I first looked into Windows XP, one thing I was worried about was codecs. Now I'm running WinXP pro and all divx/etc codecs work fine, EXCEPT one. I have one .avi that won't playback sound, which worked just fine in Win98SE. Video playback is fine, it just lacks sound. Every time I try to play the file, the player searches for updated codecs looking for something, but finds nothing. It uses WMA for audio.
I find it very silly that Windows Media Player 8 doesn't have a codec to play video with WMA audio in it, yet this seems to be the case. When I try to play a Quake 3 trickjumping .avi with Divx video and WMA sound. (found by right clicking the file and checking the advanced properties...)
Audio-
Bit rate 64kbps
Audio sample size 16 bit
Audio format Windows Media Audio V2
Any ideas? I'm hoping it's a simple matter...just seems really weird that it wouldn't support a MS format. In 98SE I don't recall ever downloading a special WMA codec for mediaplayer (6?), but it's possible and I may have.
Is there any possibility that installing Winamp with WMA support could affect Mediaplayer's use of it?
Other than that I'm out of ideas...
WMP version 8.00.00.4477
Thanks in advance,
