Simple codec for viewing .WMV inside vdub and other apps ?
 

Hi guys :lol:

I have a question on the .WMV file format and opening them in other apps.

I've ben trying to open some of these up that I've D/L'ed over time during
my surfing days. These are mostly stuff I (samples) I D/L'ed from doom9
that I wanted to see, but that I coudn't because my version of media player
will not open them. I've tried going to :eyebrows: M$ :eyebrows: 's site, but there too confusing as
to which one to D/L and they are T 8O 8O big and not worth the effort if I
can just open them up for viewing. I don't need all the bells and whistels
that come w/ latest media players etc. Anyways..

I tried opening an .wmv file inside vdub, but instead, I got an warning
message that it was an .ASF 8O file, and was telling me that it was not gonna
let me in :banghead: due to :eyebrows: M$ :eyebrows: 's US Patent :grrr: and :bawl: and :confused: !!

If anything, I'll even try viewing inside TMPG.. hmm....

I thought WMV are also called "MPEG Video V3". I have this codec on my PC and you should find it in various codec pack (I use ACE but you can surely find it elsewere).

In addition, I found a few more codec packs to add to the list:

* wmpcdcs8.exe
Or this one:

Windows Media Player 9 Codecs Pack:
* WM9Codecs.exe

I'll bookmark that link you posted though, cause it looks like a good one :wink:
