Windows media player

Hi
I'm trying to watch wma and avi files in Windows media player, but keep getting error messages that showing these files are not possible. I have Windows media player version 10.00.00.3646

Anyone who might have an idea of what I need in order to whatch such files?

 

AVI files might require a proper codec to play:

Not sure why WMA files won't play.

 

OK. Looks like there are quite many codecs to download from the link posted. How do I know which one of them to download?

 

Here download this codec pack it should solve your problem.

Use GSpot or VideoInspector to scan the file, tell you what codec is required and provide download links.

 

Thanks insomniac...just what I needed.

Seems to be a programme for everything "out there"...

 

Any tips on which of these two programmes are easiest to use?

 

VideoInspector is easier to use, but they are both simple.

I use both to double-check or when one doesn't return any results.
