Do you use Windows? And you play the occassional video? A trailer from the internet, some other downloaded videomaterial (we will not go into detail about the content (-; ). And then suddenly Mediaplayer complains about the codes, or the version of your player. Okay, let’s update. Genuine Software check. I actually do have a genuine legal version of Windows XP Professional, but still the Microsoft site refuses to recognize it as Genuine (who cares, it runs anyways).
I know that WinAMP plays certain video’s as well, but…WinAMP is for music… Just today I discoverd the VLC Media Player. Free, and available for just about every platform: Linux, Windows, MacOS, BeOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, whatever. It plays MPEG-1, 2 and 4, DivX, DVD’s, VCD’s and just about every audio-format you can think of.

Yeah, know the player. Use it to view recordings from my Dreambox-500 (sat decoder)…
