.wmv files

[Loony BoB]

When I go and download .wmv files from KazaaLite, half of them end up being unable to play. Is there any way to find out what is needed to get them to work? I use Media Player Classic and Winamp, and I have WMP if needed, but it usually doesn't work on any of them.

Probably missing the Windows Media Player 9 codecs :p

Try downloaing .mpeg3's :D Much harder to get to work, or you know your files could just be corripted, try uninstalling Windows :D

Its quite possible, especially if the host is dodgy :D

Download the gspot codec appliance *attaches*

Even if your problem is solved, you can use it for any WMP-related media file. I opened some wmvs but it just said the codec is asf (for video)

Of course, it'd be better to get the latest version of GSpot (http://gspot.headbands.com/) :p

I haven't had a need to...but just for the sake of getting the 'newest alpha version release' , I'll go and get it now :D
